Water ice has been detected at the lunar poles, but existing and near-future orbital datasets
do not have the capabilities to determine its horizontal and vertical distribution at meter to …

Water ice has been delivered to the lunar poles from different sources over billions of years,
but this accumulation was punctuated by large impacts that excavated dry regolith from …

The use of microwave radiation data collected by lunar orbiters to infer the lunar brightness-
temperature (TB) distribution is of great importance to lunar scientific exploration. The TB …

In recent years, the study of microwave radiation from the Moon's surface has been of
interest to the astronomy and remote sensing communities. Due to the stable geophysical …

A small tilt in the spin axis of the moon over the ecliptic plane causes seasonal incidence
variation of solar illumination and, especially, causes significant temperature difference at …

The rock strongly affects the surface and subsurface temperature due to its different
thermophysical properties compared to the lunar regolith. The brightness temperature (TB) …

The Chang'e (CE)-1/2 satellites carried microwave radiometers (MRMs), which supplied
unique passive microwave data, supplementing visible, thermal infrared (TIR), and radar …

The two microwave radiometers (MRMs) onboard the Chinese Lunar explorers Chang'E-1
(CE-1) and Chang'E-2 (CE-2) are considered to be identical instruments, yet the results …

Identifying space resources is essential to establish an off-Earth human presence on the
Moon, Mars, and beyond. One method for determining the composition and mineralogy of …

Subsurface geology can reveal hidden aspects about the evolutional history of Moon. Lunar
subsurface can provide crucial insights about origin, physical processes, and lunar …
