Wireless power transmission could enable exploration of the far side of the moon
How can future lunar exploration communicate from the far side of the moon despite never being inline with the Earth? This is what a recent study submitted to IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems hopes to address as a pair of researchers from the Polytechnique Montréal investigated the potential for a wireless power transmission method (WPT) comprised of anywhere from one to three satellites located at Earth-moon Lagrange Point 2 (EMLP-2) and a solar-powered receiver on the fa…

China has just released a geologic atlas set of the global #Moon with a scale of 1:2.5 million, which is the first complete high-definition lunar geologic atlas in the world, providing basic map data for future lunar research and exploration; https://english.cas.cn/newsroom/cas_media/202404/t20240422_660730.shtml. ADDENDUM: finds links to the new lunar maps in high resolution via https://twitter.com/SegerYu/status/1783671566729117753 - beware, these are huge files! And an article about them: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01223-0
