Article
  • Jun 2018
During the Apollo era of lunar exploration, mysterious albedo patterns, called swirls, captured the imagination of the scientific community. A key aspect of this interest was due to the discovery that the swirls are associated with localized relatively strong remnant magnetic fields. Analysis of returned soil samples revealed that solar wind, galac...

... The interactions between the ambient space plasma environment and crustal magnetic fields (Halekas, Saito, Delory, & Farrell, 2011;Halekas, Brain, & Holmström, 2015), as well as electrostatic fields at the lunar surface (Zimmerman, Farrell, Stubbs, Halekas, & Jackson, 2011;Stubbs et al., 2014;Fatemi et al., 2015) are still poorly understood, especially at the lunar poles or lunar swirls (which is also a region of interest for future exploration, Robinson et al., 2018). Such anthropogenic interactions of rovers and scientific equipment may disrupt the ambient, natural lunar environment. ...
