Samples collected by China’s Chang’e-6 mission from the Moon’s far side have unveiled moon dust containing a rare pre-solar system rock fragment with water. This discovery suggests that asteroids may ...

A team of NASA-funded UCF researchers is pioneering a new nanocoating to passively mitigate the effects of lunar dust, protect equipment and ultimately extend future lunar missions. Lunar dust is more ...

NASA's latest rocket test reveals how dangerous Moon dust moves in lunar gravity, helping engineers design safer missions and ...

Collaboration has always been a hallmark of space research. Experts in different disciplines come together to work toward a common goal, and many times achieve that. One of the current goals of space ...

What steps can be taken to reduce the risks of lunar dust for future astronauts? This is what upcoming research funded by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute hopes to address as a team of researchers ...

Lunar dust remains one of the biggest challenges for a long-term human presence on the moon. Its jagged, clingy nature makes it naturally stick to everything from solar panels to the inside of human ...

Due to the unique conditions of the space environment and abundant resources, the field investigation and study of the Moon, Earth’s sole natural satellite, represent a crucial milestone in China’s ...

The moon is chock-full of Earth’s history. Elements from our planet’s atmosphere have made their way into moon dust, also called regolith, on a pathway created by the Earth’s magnetic field. These ...

Lunar mining will involve autonomous robots and small human crews, requiring advanced safety protocols for remote operations and emergency response. Key hazards include lunar dust, vacuum leaks, ...

Moon missions are hot again for the first bit since the space race. While the previous period had us land on the big lunar rock, the missions of tomorrow have us living on it. The initial problem of ...
