We describe research and instruments development highlights from ILEWG LUNEX EuroMoonMars Earth Space Innovation EMMESI academy, EuroSpaceHub/GreenSpaceHub partners contributing to MoonMars and space missions, Field Research, Astronautics and Entrepreneurship.
Sample analysis: we analysed various samples including meteorites from Moon, Mars, asteroids, and analogue field samples from campaigns (Vulcano, Etna, Hawaii HI-SEAS) using spectrometry, hyperspectral imaging and Ra-man .
LUNEX also participates in collaboration with TU Delft in the study of ice, minerals and organics mixture relevant for Moon, Mars and icy Moons.
Payload development: we have developed a test bench for sample analysis using reflectance and transmission spec-troscopy, Raman spectroscopy and microscopy. We also adapted an Hyperspectral camera for sample analysis and for telescopic observations of the Moon and other celestial objects. Space Photonics Lab : this is being developed with in collaboration with Fotonika Latvia, with cubesat synergy .
Shoebox instruments for laboratory tests and analogue were developed for future Moon and Mars missions. We are conceiving a concept of a shoebox module for extract-ing organics from icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, with special prototype for Enceladus plumes or surface. LUNEX ExoGeoLab lander is currently adapted with shoebox instruments for supporting future missions to Moon, Mars and icy moons.
Cubesats for education, EarthMoonMars exploration: LUNEX EMMESI has initiated the development of univer-sity education cubesats with the support of Leiden Univer-sity (Observatory, LIACS computer science, Physics and Optics), Leiden Instrument Schools LiS, Deft TU, InHol-land Delft, ESA BIC.
