I don’t post much about Aerospace, a relatively new journal. It’s clear that space is second, aero (i. e., Bernoulli’s Law, not Tsiolkovskiy’s) is first. Still, there’s some space content:
Aerospace vol. 11 #6, Jun
Farina, D. Machrafi, H. Queeckers, P. et al. Water Recuperation from Regolith at Martian, … 475 aerospace11060475
Mengali, G. Bassetto, M. Quarta, A. A. Solar Sail Optimal Performance in Heliocentric Nodal … 427 aerospace11060427
From the special issue “The (Near) Future of Space Resources”: “Recent discoveries of potential ice particles and ice-cemented regolith on extra-terrestrial bodies like the Moon and Mars have opened new opportunities for developing technologies to extract water, facilitating future space missions and activities on these extraterrestrial body surfaces. This study explores the potential…”

Alnaqbi, S. Darfilal, D. Shan Min Swei, S. Propulsion Technologies for CubeSats: Review 502 aerospace11070502
Look, folks, a review article! Always good to keep tabs on what’s been going on.
Peng et al. covers potential round-trip asteroid exploration missions: in the light of Comet Interceptor, we would “store” asteroid probes at only moderately far distances. When called upon, these would be dispatched, and then recaptured by Earth’ gravity for possible future flybys. Handy.
