MHD‐Test Particles Simulations of Moderate CME and CIR‐Driven Geomagnetic Storms at Solar Minimum by Mary K. Hudson, Scot R. Elkington, Zhao Li, Maulik Patel, Kevin Pham, Kareem Sorathia, Alex Boyd, Allison Jaynes, Alexis Leali

“…The latter, with characteristic features of a Corotating Interaction Region (CIR)‐driven storm, produced the hardest relativistic electron spectrum observed by Van Allen Probes during the last two years of the mission, ending in October 2019. MHD simulations were performed using both the Lyon‐Fedder‐Mobarry global MHD code and recently developed GAMERA model coupled to the Rice Convection Model, run with measured L1 solar wind input for both events studied, and coupled with test particle simulations, including an initial trapped and injected population. …”

Event-Based Slip Estimation Framework for Space Rovers Traversing Soft Terrains by Ruqayya Alhammadi, Yahya Zweiri, Ahmad Abubakar, Mubarak Yakubu, Laith Abuassi, Lakmal Seneviratne

“…Precise estimation of this slip is important for rover navigation algorithms, as it helps to prevent rovers from traversing areas with excessive slippage, thereby avoiding entrapment —an outcome that could lead to mission failure. This paper presents a novel event-based longitudinal slip estimation framework designed to operate in low-light conditions. …”
