    Hungarian contributor: Konkoly Thege Miklós Csillagászati Intézet (Kereszturi Á.) [MTMT] The article reviews how loose surface material moves and changes under the very weak gravity of asteroids. Smooth terrain that is easy to approach does not necessarily contain the least altered, most informative samples, so site selection needs to balance operational access and scientific value.

    Hungarian contributor: Konkoly Thege Miklós Csillagászati Intézet (Kereszturi Á.) [MTMT] The study examines water ice exposed as Mars's northern seasonal carbon dioxide cap retreats.

    Hungarian contributor: Konkoly Thege Miklós Csillagászati Intézet (Kereszturi Á., Góbi S.) [MTMT] The calculations investigate how quickly hydrogen peroxide could break down in a hypothetical thin Martian water film. Acidic, iron-bearing conditions could substantially accelerate the reaction, but its applicability to present-day Mars remains uncertain and needs laboratory testing.

    Hungarian contributor: Konkoly Thege Miklós Csillagászati Intézet (Kereszturi Á.) [MTMT] Channel and sediment-fan volumes in Gale crater were used to estimate an ancient flow's duration. The calculations allow a short event lasting hours to days, so this landform alone does not demonstrate a long-lived warm and wet Martian climate.

    Hungarian contributor: Konkoly Thege Miklós Csillagászati Intézet (Kereszturi Á.) [MTMT] The study evaluates how readily scientifically interesting subsurface layers can be sampled at different Martian landing sites. Exposed strata occupy only a small fraction of the surveyed terrain in Eberswalde and Holden craters, so sampling strategies and rover routes need to match local conditions.
