Virtual Moon Atlas 7 Freeware
Legrand, C.; Chevalley, P.
Virtual Moon Atlas version 7 is a mapping freeware linking topographic, geologic, chemical and historical maps with databases, documents, and pictures libraries. It uses datas from NASA, USGS, JPL, Smart-1, LP, Kaguya, Chandrayann, and Chang'E probes.
The SIXS Instrument on Bepicolumbo, and Its Use for Space Weather Observations, and in Conjunction with MIXS
Muinonen, Karri; Huovelin, Juhani; Bunce, E. +2 more
The Solar Intensity X-ray and particle Spectrometer (SIXS) on BepiColumbo Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) will investigate the direct solar X-rays and protons and electrons which pass the spacecraft on their way to Mercury. It has an innovative compact design, and the Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer, with which it is paired, is similarly highly…
ILEWG report to COSPAR: Science, Technology, human aspects, roadmaps, socio-economics, young lunar explorers, MoonVillage, MoonMars synergies, EuroMoonMars, ArtMoonMars
Foing, Bernard H.
ILEWG has been organising since 1994 ICEUM International Conferences on Exploration & Utilisation of the Moon with published proceedings, and where community declarations have been prepared and endorsed by community participants. ILEWG has co-organised and co-sponsored lunar sessions at EGU, COSPAR, EPSC. ILEWG task groups include science, tec…
Horizon 2061: MoonVillage Perspectives for Science, Missions, Technologies, Infrastructures and Society
Foing, Bernard H.
We discuss MoonVillage Perspectives at Horizon 2061 addressing Science, Missions, Technologies, Infrastructures and Society. ESA, ILEWG and partners have been elaborating the concept of a Moon Village with the goal of a sustainable human presence and activity on the lunar surface as an ensemble where multiple users can carry out multiple activitie…
Machine Learning applied to Lunar Data to Characterize Potential Sites for Future Science, Mobile Exploration, Utilization, lunar Bases and Moon Villages.
Foing, Bernard; den Heijer, Daniël
The lunar south pole is of particular interest to researchers because of its unique geographical features. It contains craters where the near-constant sunlight does not reach the interior. These craters are of enormous importance in the process of human exploration of the moon.This research aims to develop an identification algorithm applied to LR…

Foing, Bernard; Mcilquham, Jourdain; Borst, Anouk M. +1 more
Geological context of recent lunar landing sites using multispectral analysis. (Mcilquham J, Borst A, Allender E and Foing B)The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) was a guest instrument aboard the Chandrayaan-1 mission. The instrument collected spectral data, ranging from 430 nm to 3000 nm at an average resolution of 140 m/pixel. This research utilises …
