Abstract

Nearly half a century ago, two papers postulated the likelihood of lunar lava tube caves using mathematical models. Today, armed with an array of orbiting and fly-by satellites and survey instrumentation, we have now acquired cave data across our solar system-including the identification of potential cave entrances on the Moon, Mars, and at least nine other planetary bodies. These discoveries gave rise to the study of planetary caves. To help advance this field, we leveraged the expertise of an interdisciplinary group to identify a strategy to explore caves beyond Earth. Focusing primarily on astrobiology, the cave environment, geology, robotics, instrumentation, and human exploration, our goal was to produce a framework to guide this subdiscipline through at least the next decade. To do this, we first assembled a list of 198 science and engineering questions. Then, through a series of social surveys, 114 scientists and engineers winnowed down the list to the top 53 highest priority questions. This exercise resulted in identifying emerging and crucial research areas that require robust development to ultimately support a robotic mission to a planetary cave-principally the Moon and/or Mars. With the necessary financial investment and institutional support, the research and technological development required to achieve these necessary advancements over the next decade are attainable. Subsequently, we will be positioned to robotically examine lunar caves and search for evidence of life within Martian caves; in turn, this will set the stage for human exploration and potential habitation of both the lunar and Martian subsurface.

6. Evaluation of Lava Tube Formation Mechanisms Using Three-Dimensional Mapping and Viscosity Modeling: Lava Beds National Monument, California

Abstract

I explore the relationships between lava tube morphology, estimates of lava viscosity and effusion rates, and the mechanism of lava tube formation. I calculated effusion rates for extinct lava tubes using three-dimensional lava tube maps, and viscosity modeling utilizing data from collected samples. Lava tube lengths, effusion rate estimates, and thermal modeling were used to evaluate the mechanisms of lava tube formation. Lava tube lengths vs. cross-sectional radii show a positive correlation. This reflects the positive correlation observed between lava flow lengths and effusion rates in active Hawaiian channel-fed flows. Lava tube length vs. effusion rate estimates were compared with data for Hawaiian channel-fed flows. The two data sets overlap and have parallel trends. This suggests that the lava tubes studied formed by the roofing-over of channel-fed flows or had segments of channel-fed flow. Estimates of the lengths and mean cross-sectional radii of lava tubes can be used to evaluate whether or not extinct lava tubes formed by the roofing-over of channel-fed flows. Length and radius estimates of extraterrestrial lava tubes could provide insight on their formation mechanism independent of in situ studies.
