• Arecibo Radar Maps of Venus from 1988 to 2020 

  Campbell, Bruce A.; Campbell, Donald B. (2022)

  Over its 57 yr history, the Arecibo telescope was used to produce radar maps of Venus that pioneered our understanding of surface landforms and geologic processes. The best spatial resolution of 1–2 km achievable with the ...
• Displacement-length scaling relations of nearside graben: Evidence of restricted normal faults on the Moon 

  Martin, Emily S.; Watters, Thomas R. (Elsevier, 2022)

  Evidence of significant extension on the Moon is associated with nearside mare. The load induced by the mare basalts resulted in lithospheric flexure and graben forming extension. We use high-resolution topographic and ...
• The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and "The Romance of Technological Progress": 

  Neufeld, Michael J. (2022)

  The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum (NASM) remains one of the world's most visited museums precisely because it embodies the "romance of technological progress." From its origins in the US National ...

• Dielectric Properties of the Medusae Fossae Formation and Implications for Ice Content 

  Campbell, Bruce A.; Watters, Thomas R.; Morgan, Gareth A. (American Geophysical Union, 2021)

  The extensive Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) along the dichotomy boundary on Mars has geologic features indicative of wind erosion of low-density material. There is evidence suggesting a water ice component, but with ...
• Space Spies in the Open: Military Space Stations and Heroic Cosmonauts in the Post-Apollo Period, 1971-77

• Location and Setting of the Mars InSight Lander, Instruments and Landing Site 

  Golombek, Matthew; Williams, Nathan; Warner, N. H.; Parker, Timothy; Williams, M. G.; Daubar, Ingrid; Calef, Fred; Grant, John; Bailey, P.; Abarca, H.; Deen, Robert; Ruoff, N.; Maki, Justin; McEwen, Alfred; Baugh, Nicole; Block, Kristin; Tamppari, Leslie; Call, J.; Ladewig, J.; Stoltz, A.; Weems, W. A.; Mora‐Sotomayor, L.; Torres, J.; Johnson, M.; Kennedy, T.; Sklyanskiy, E. (American Geophysical Union, 2020)

  Knowing precisely where a spacecraft lands on Mars is important for understanding the regional and local context, setting, and the offset between the inertial and cartographic frames. For the InSight spacecraft, the payload ...
• Degradation of Homestead Hollow at the Insight Landing Site Based on the Distribution and Properties of Local Deposits 

  Grant, John A.; Warner, Nicholas H.; Weitz, Catherine M.; Golombek, Matthew P.; Wilson, Sharon A.; Baker, Mariah; Hauber, Ernst; Ansan, Veronique; Charalambous, Constantinos; Williams, Nathan; Calef, Fred; Pike, W. T.; DeMott, Alyssa; Kopp, Megan; Lethcoe, Heather; Banks, Maria E. (2020)

  The InSight mission landed its scientific payload in Homestead hollow, a quasi-circular depression interpreted to be a highly degraded impact crater that is 27 m in diameter. The original pristine crater formed in a ...
• Assessing the Accuracy of Paleodischarge Estimates for Rivers on Mars 

  Morgan, Alexander M.; Craddock, Robert A. (American Geophysical Union, 2019)

  Estimates of river paleodischarges have been used to constrain the former climate of Mars. Paleodischarge has been calculated using mechanistic approximations of the channel bed-shear stress at the threshold of particle ...
