Ultrasonic velocity measurements of simulated lunar regolith with variable ice content: a laboratory and modeling investigation with implications for geophysical lunar resource exploration
… the location and abundance of water ice on the Moon. Water not only provides valuable insight into the Moon’s history but could also be processed into human consumables or rocket propellant for future missions. To date, remote sensing measurements have established the presence of …

Manufacture and characterization of sintered icy lunar regolith simulants, and implications for space resources and planetary science, The
… life within them. Prospecting is needed to prove lunar water ice reserves, which will be followed by excavating icy lunar regolith, and extracting the volatiles from within it. Before any of these activities can be performed, icy lunar regolith must be characterized and understood, beginning with …

Alternative Mission Concepts for the Exploration of Outer Planets Using Small Satellite Swarms
… spacecraft beyond earth orbit (e.g., NEAScout, Lunar Ice Cube, Marco and BioSentinel). This paper takes the CubeSat philosophical approach one step further by investigating the potential for small satellite swarms to provide extensive studies of the Saturn system. To do this, an architecture was …

Commercial Considerations for Space Resource Utilisation in the Context of Mining Feasibility Studies
… (SRU) is essential for the development of a cislunar economy, helping mitigate the impact of the ‘tyranny of the rocket equation’ by reducing the cargoes and fuel transported out of the Earth’s gravity well. Early activity could be driven by national entities, however for the long term …
