Launched in 1977, NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 missions represent one of the greatest achievements in the history of space exploration. Capitalizing on a rare alignment of the outer planets (an event occurring only once every 175 years), the missions successfully executed the ambitious "Grand Tour", providing unprecedented insights into Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Recent advances in satellite observations and computational capabilities increasingly require researchers across disciplines to adopt modern, data-driven approaches that enable the quantitative analysis of large datasets. This applies to the disciplines of terrestrial and planetary volcanology, as morphologically similar conical landforms are abundant both on Earth and other planetary bodies....

While VSOP87 is a historically significant analytical model, precise numerical models from JPL, such as DE440, are the current standard. This project investigates the extent to which classic French trigonometric tables can produce results comparable to modern NASA navigation algorithms, provided that appropriate corrections are applied.

Lunar exploration and in-situ resource utilization require reliable analysis of lunar soil and its resources. Orbitrap mass spectrometers offer high resolving power and mass accuracy, but charged regolith particles, plasma, and local surface potentials can disturb the electric fields that control ion injection and motion. This study investigates these effects using a three-stage physics-based...

Tens of thousands of known small Solar System bodies have orbits passing within approximately 0.5 AU of the Mars’ orbit. Identifying objects that could be redirected onto Mars-impacting trajectories under weak continuous forcing is relevant to studies of long-term planetary engineering, including conceptual investigations of Mars terraforming. Such problems also provide a demanding test case...

Sustainable energy systems in closed environments require innovative, low-emission solutions. This research focuses on a bioelectrochemical fuel cell based on a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY, kombucha). A key strength of the study is the rigorous evaluation of the system against a control (the natural electrochemical activity of kombucha), aligning with recent research on...

During spaceflight, the main threat to astronauts is ionising radiation, which causes DNA damage and increases the levels of reactive oxygen species, thereby affecting biological processes. The radiation-shielding materials currently used in spacecraft are often based on synthetic or inorganic components and may be heavy, brittle and difficult to produce in an isolated environment....

Extremophilic microorganisms from Arctic environments provide valuable terrestrial analogues for investigating potential biosignatures relevant to planetary exploration. In this study, soil samples collected from pristine areas of Svalbard were processed to isolate and cultivate microorganisms under laboratory conditions. Soil suspensions were inoculated onto Petri dishes and incubated until...

The Artemis programme has committed to the lunar south pole, and NASA has identified nine candidate landing regions. These regions were selected against landing and short-mission criteria: Human Landing System constraints, astronaut line of sight, illumination across a mission window, and access to permanently shadowed regions. Recent work has ranked locations within them using GIS and...

The growing volume of orbital imagery of the Moon has made manual inspection of the surface impractical, while visual interpretation of individual landforms remains subjective and hard to standardise. We present LunaX, a system combining a deep-learning detector with an interactive analytical environment, designed to pre-select regions of interest for an expert rather than to replace the...

Planetary lander penetrometer and subsurface probe experiments have repeatedly encountered unexpected mechanical resistance, including MUPUS on Rosetta's Philae lander (comet 67P), the HP3 "mole" on NASA's InSight lander (Mars), and the Surface Science Package on ESA's Huygens probe (Titan). Each anomaly was identified and characterized manually by mission teams, with distinct underlying...

Terrestrial analog sites, Earth environments resembling extraterrestrial surfaces, are an established methodology for validating instruments, algorithms, and mission concepts in planetary exploration. Poland's Błędów Desert, historically shaped by active aeolian dune fields and now substantially reduced through vegetation encroachment, has served as such an analog site, and recent work has...

Planetary missions targeted at rocky bodies generate large amounts of geological data. For example, geochemical information is obtained by spectrometers installed on Martian rovers. Also, microscopic images acquired by cameras on Martian rovers allow individual grain segmentation and subsequent calculation of useful sedimentological parameters (e.g., particle size distributions, circularity,...

We are considering the use of existing Martian resources to recreate the planet's past environment. It is worth noting that such a reconstruction could serve as a prelude to terraforming Mars without the need to import material from the Kuiper Belt—a requirement of the radical terraforming scenario proposed by Czechowski (2025, LPSC 2025, #1858). The Martian environment of billions of years...

Whistler-mode waves play a significant role in scattering energetic electrons within Jupiter's magnetosphere, influencing radiation belt dynamics and auroral precipitation. However, the radial variation of their growth conditions from the dense inner plasma torus to the more tenuous middle magnetosphere has not been systematically explored using recent field and density constraints. This study...

The Central European Volcanic Province (CEVP) comprises Cenozoic mafic to alkaline volcanic fields distributed across Central Europe and offers a broad compositional range relevant to planetary analogue research and to the development of European Lunar and Martian simulants. This study systematically evaluates CEVP volcanic sub region lithologies as petrological, geochemical and/or...

Martian concretions, the hematite-rich spherules discovered at Meridiani Planum by the Opportunity rover, provide important clues to the aqueous and geochemical evolution of ancient Mars. To investigate their potential as indicators of metal-enrichment processes, we studied three terrestrial concretion analogues: spherules from the Cretaceous Dakota Formation and Jurassic Navajo Sandstone in...

We present the first spectroscopic follow-up for TOI-7475, and report the detection of a planetary-mass companion. Transits with a period of 3.25 days were observed by TESS. The dips in brightness are 0.006 mag and last approximately 4.5 hours. The host star is a spectral type F5 with a mass of approximately 1.48 M$_{\odot}$.
