South Pole-Aitken basin sample Return and eXploration (SPARX) Science Definition Team Report

Lauren M. Jozwiak, James T. Keane, Robert Citron +18

Sample return from South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA) on the Moon has been recognized as the highest priority lunar science mission for well over two decades, appearing as a recommended…

In Situ Geochronology for the Next Decade: Mission Designs for the Moon, Mars, and Vesta

Barbara A. Cohen, Kelsey E. Young, Nicolle E. B. Zellner +27

Geochronology, or determination of absolute ages for geologic events, underpins many inquiries into the formation and evolution of planets and our Solar System. Absolute ages of an…

Maximizing the value of Solar System data through Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructures

Jani Radebaugh, Bradley J. Thomson, Brent Archinal +15

Planetary spatial data returned by spacecraft, including images and higher-order products such as mosaics, controlled basemaps, and digital elevation models (DEMs), are of critical…

The equilibrium size-frequency distribution of small craters reveals the effects of distal ejecta on lunar landscape morphology

David A. Minton, Caleb I. Fassett, Masatoshi Hirabayashi +2

Small craters of the lunar maria are observed to be in a state of equilibrium, in which the rate of production of new craters is, on average, equal to the rate of destruction of ol…

An analytical model of crater count equilibrium

Masatoshi Hirabayashi, David A. Minton, Caleb I. Fassett

Crater count equilibrium occurs when new craters form at the same rate that old craters are erased, such that the total number of observable impacts remains constant. Despite subst…

Re-examining the main asteroid belt as the primary source of ancient lunar craters

David A. Minton, James E. Richardson, Caleb I. Fassett

It has been hypothesized that the impactors that created the majority of the observable craters on the ancient lunar highlands were derived from the main asteroid belt in such a wa…
