Simulation Study of the Lunar Spectral Irradiances and the Earth-Based Moon Observation Geometry by Yi Lian, Qianqian Renyang, Tianqi Tang, Hu Zhang, Jinsong Ping, Zhiguo Meng, Wenxiao Li, Huichun Gao

“…The paper leverages the Hapke model to simulate the temporal changes in lunar spectral irradiances, utilizing datasets obtained from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). The research also details the transformation process from the lunar geographic coordinate system to the instantaneous projection coordinate system, thereby delineating the necessary observational geometry. …”

The Moon Zoo citizen science project: Preliminary results for the Apollo 17 landing site by Bugiolacchi, R, Bamford, S, Tar, P, Thacker, N, Crawford, I, Joy, K, Grindrod, P, Lintott, C

“…Moon Zoo users are asked to review high spatial resolution images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), onboard NASAs LRO spacecraft, and perform characterisation such as measuring impact crater sizes and identify morphological features of interest. …”

A Remote Sensing Perspective on Mass Wasting in Contrasting Planetary Environments: Cases of the Moon and Ceres by Lydia Sam, Anshuman Bhardwaj

“…We start with briefly discussing several recent studies on mass wasting using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) data for the Moon and Dawn spacecraft data for Ceres. …”

LROC-PANGU-GAN: closing the simulation gap in learning crater segmentation with planetary simulators by La, J, Phadke, J, Hutton, M, Schwinning, M, De Canio, G, Renk, F, Kunze, L, Gadd, M

“…These human-labelled crater databases, such as from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), may lack in consistency and quality, undermining model performance – as incomplete and/or inaccurate labels introduce noise into the supervisory signal, which encourages the model to learn incorrect associations and results in the model making unreliable predictions. …”

Lunar floor-fractured craters: Classification, distribution, origin and implications for magmatism and shallow crustal structure by Jozwiak, Lauren M., Head, James W., Neumann, Gregory A., Zuber, Maria, Smith, David Edmund

“…This study combines new Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) data to characterize and categorize the population of FFCs and map their distribution on the Moon, and uses variations in floor-fractured crater morphology and regional distribution to investigate the proposed formation mechanisms. …”

Large Area High-Resolution 3D Mapping of the Von Kármán Crater: Landing Site for the Chang’E-4 Lander and Yutu-2 Rover by Yu Tao, Jan-Peter Muller, Susan J. Conway, Siting Xiong, Sebastian H. G. Walter, Bin Liu

“…We demonstrate the creation of a large area of high-resolution (260 × 209 km² at 1 m/pixel) DTM mosaic from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) images over the Chang’E-4 landing site at Von Kármán crater using an in-house deep learning-based 3D modelling system developed at University College London, called MADNet, trained with lunar orthorectified images and digital terrain models (DTMs). …”

Surface Roughness at the Moon’s South Pole: The Influence of Condensed Volatiles on Surface Roughness at the Moon’s South Pole by Lizeth O. Magaña, Parvathy Prem, Ariel N. Deutsch, Anna C. Martin, Heather M. Meyer, Caleb I. Fassett, Michael K. Barker, Angela Stickle, Benjamin D. Byron, Kathleen E. Mandt, Kurt D. Retherford

“…Utilizing data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA), Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP), Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, and Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment, we find subdued roughness within cold traps but determine that roughness is not a unique identifier of condensed volatiles. …”
