Science on the Lunar Surface Facilitated by Low Latency Telerobotics from a Lunar Orbiting Platform-Gateway
Jack O. Burns, Terry Fong, David A. Kring +3
NASA and ESA are preparing a series of human exploration missions using the four-person Orion crew vehicle, launched by NASA's Space Launch System, and a Lunar Orbiting Platform-Ga…
Small crater populations on Vesta
S. Marchi, W. F. Bottke, D. P. O'Brien +7
The NASA Dawn mission has extensively examined the surface of asteroid Vesta, the second most massive body in the main belt. The high quality of the gathered data provides us with…
A Lunar L2-Farside Exploration and Science Mission Concept with the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and a Teleoperated Lander/Rover
Jack O. Burns, David A. Kring, Joshua B. Hopkins +3
A novel concept is presented in this paper for a human mission to the lunar L2 (Lagrange) point that would be a proving ground for future exploration missions to deep space while a…
A Sawtooth-like Timeline for the First Billion Year of Lunar Bombardment
Alessandro Morbidelli, Simone Marchi, William F. Bottke +1
We revisit the early evolution of the Moon's bombardment. Our work combines modeling (based on plausible projectile sources and their dynamical decay rates) with constraints from t…
The origin of planetary impactors in the inner solar system
Robert G. Strom, Renu Malhotra, Takashi Ito +2
New insights into the history of the inner solar system are derived from the impact cratering record of the Moon, Mars, Venus and Mercury, and from the size distributions of astero…
