European Lunar Symposium (ELS) 2026 in Nancy
Last week, our team presented the status of VOLARIS’s experimental work at the European Lunar Symposium 2026 in Nancy, France. We outlined the planned experiments for studying processes in the lunar water cycle, such as micrometeorite impacts and thermal pumping, as well as the technical realisation in a thermal-vacuum setup. We also presented feasibility studies,…

European Lunar Symposium (ELS) 2025 in Münster
Our team presented the first results of VOLARIS at the European Lunar Symposium in Münster, Germany. The poster investigates how lunar regolith surface roughness and particle shape control micro-shadowing, a key factor governing local temperature variations and thus the stability and migration of water on the Moon, using 3D surface scans of regolith simulants combined…
