The Road to the Artemis Base Camp via Applied Science: Estimating the Bulk Density of Lunar Regolith Stratigraphy Through Cone Penetrometer Testing of Simulants
[#1977]
The density of lunar regolith layers can be estimated via cone penetrometer readings of simulants in the lab, which will guide future infrastructure development.

Updating Lunar Subsurface Geotechnical Properties Based Upon Nonlinear Winkler Modeling of Apollo and Lunokhod Measurements
[#1029]
Analysis of Apollo and Lunokhod geotechnical measurements yielded an updated understanding of how lunar soil behaves nonlinearly with depth. Updates LSB figures.

The Elongation of Small Craters on Steep Lunar Slopes: Do Polar Volatiles Enhance Elongation and Mass Wasting?
[#2524]
We analyze the elongation of small lunar craters formed on polar vs. lower-latitude slopes, and discuss how volatiles may enhance crater elongation.

Availability of LRO Mini-RF and Chandrayaan-2 DFSAR Data for Artemis Landing Zone Characterization
[#2397]
Mini-RF and DFSAR data are valuable for identifying landing hazards and constraining the dielectric properties of regolith within the Artemis landing zones.
