THE VOLATILE SIDE OF THE MOON
Four decades after the first humans landed on the Moon, our only natural satellite remains a fascinating enigma. Specialists from Europe and the US have been looking at ESA's proposed Lunar Lander mission to find out how to seek water and other volatile resources.
Prestigious scientists who worked on the Apollo programme like Larry Taylor, from the University of Tennessee (US), and Colin Pillinger, from the Open University (UK), gathered at ESA's ESTEC space technology centre in the Netherlands to discuss the mission on May 16 and 17. Bruno Gardini, from ESA's Human Spaceflight and Operations directorate, envisages a European astronaut working on the Moon.

Moon's Volatile Reality: Shrinking Surface and Moonquakes Pose Risks for Future Exploration
Moon's Volatile Reality: Shrinking Surface and Moonquakes Pose Risks for Future Exploration
In a recent study funded by NASA, researchers have unveiled a surprising revelation about the moon's seemingly constant presence in the night sky. Contrary to its serene appearance, the Earth's natural satellite is undergoing significant changes as its core cools, leading to a process of shrinkage that results in the formation of thrust faults, creating ripples tens of meters high across its surface. This phenomenon, detailed in the Planetary Science Journal by lead author Tom Watters from the Smithsonian Institution, sheds light on the potential dangers posed by moonquakes and landslides, which could pose risks for both humans and robotic explorers as lunar missions continue.

Space exploration is the use of astronomy and space technology to explore outer space.[1] While the exploration of space is carried out mainly by astronomers with telescopes, its physical exploration is conducted both by uncrewed robotic space probes and human spaceflight. Space exploration, like its classical form astronomy, is one of the main sources for space science.
While the observation of objects in space, known as astronomy, predates reliable recorded history, it was the development of large and relatively efficient rockets during the mid-twentieth century that allowed physical space exploration to become a reality. The world's first large-scale experimental rocket program was Opel-RAK under the leadership of Fritz von Opel and Max Valier during the late 1920s leading to the first crewed rocket cars and rocket planes,[2][3] which paved the way for the Nazi era V2 program and US and Soviet activities from 1950 onwards. The Opel-RAK program and the spectacular public demonstrations of ground and air vehicles drew large crowds, as well as caused global public excitement as so-called "Rocket Rumble"[4] and had a large long-lasting impact on later spaceflight pioneers like Wernher von Braun. Common rationales for exploring space include advancing scientific research, national prestige, uniting different nations, ensuring the future survival of humanity, and developing military and strategic advantages against other countries.[5]
The early era of space exploration was driven by a "Space Race" between the Soviet Union and the United States. The launch of the first human-made object to orbit Earth, the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, on 4 October 1957, and the first Moon landing by the American Apollo 11 mission on 20 July 1969 are often taken as landmarks for this initial period. The Soviet space program achieved many of the first milestones, including the first living being in orbit in 1957, the first human spaceflight (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) in 1961, the first spacewalk (by Alexei Leonov) on 18 March 1965, the first automatic landing on another celestial body in 1966, and the launch of the first space station (Salyut 1) in 1971. After the first 20 years of exploration, focus shifted from one-off flights to renewable hardware, such as the Space Shuttle program, and from competition to cooperation as with the International Space Station (ISS).
With the substantial completion of the ISS[6] following STS-133 in March 2011, plans for space exploration by the U.S. remain in flux. Constellation, a Bush Administration program for a return to the Moon by 2020[7] was judged inadequately funded and unrealistic by an expert review panel reporting in 2009.[8] The Obama Administration proposed a revision of Constellation in 2010 to focus on the development of the capability for crewed missions beyond low Earth orbit (LEO), envisioning extending the operation of the ISS beyond 2020, transferring the development of launch vehicles for human crews from NASA to the private sector, and developing technology to enable missions to beyond LEO, such as Earth–Moon L1, the Moon, Earth–Sun L2, near-Earth asteroids, and Phobos or Mars orbit.[9]
In the 2000s, China initiated a successful crewed spaceflight program while India launched Chandraayan 1, while the European Union and Japan have also planned future crewed space missions. China, Russia, and Japan have advocated crewed missions to the Moon during the 21st century, while the European Union has advocated crewed missions to both the Moon and Mars during the 20th and 21st century.
The Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX)[9] is an American spacecraft manufacturer, launcher, and a satellite communications corporation headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the stated goal of reducing space transportation costs to enable the colonization of Mars. The company manufactures the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Starship launch vehicles, several rocket engines, Cargo Dragon and Crew Dragon spacecraft, and Starlink communications satellites.

Moon's Volatile Reality: Shrinking Surface and Moonquakes Pose Risks for Future Exploration
In a recent study funded by NASA, researchers have unveiled a surprising revelation about the moon's seemingly constant presence in the night sky. Contrary to its serene appearance, the Earth's natural satellite is undergoing significant changes as its core cools, leading to a process of shrinkage that results in the formation of thrust faults, creating ripples tens of meters high across its surface. This phenomenon, detailed in the Planetary Science Journal by lead author Tom Watters from the Smithsonian Institution, sheds light on the potential dangers posed by moonquakes and landslides, which could pose risks for both humans and robotic explorers as lunar missions continue.
The focus of this research centers on the lunar south pole, a region of strategic importance due to its speculated deposits of water ice. As NASA gears up for its Artemis III crewed moon mission in September 2026, understanding the dynamic nature of the moon's surface becomes increasingly crucial. By analyzing data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and seismic devices left behind by astronauts, researchers have identified thousands of young thrust faults distributed widely across the lunar crust. These findings highlight the necessity for careful planning when establishing permanent outposts on the moon, taking into account the potential activity of these faults and the risk of moonquakes.
Tom Watters, emphasizing the importance of this research, clarified that the goal is not to deter exploration but to ensure that future endeavors are undertaken with awareness of the moon's evolving landscape. He stresses that the moon is far from a benign environment and that precautions must be taken to mitigate risks for astronauts and equipment. With these insights into the moon's changing surface and the potential hazards it presents, the call for cautious planning and preparation resonates as humanity looks toward further exploration of our celestial neighbor.
