We use the detailed compositional, petrographic, and spectroscopic data of lunar soils produced by the Lunar Soil Characterization Consortium to explore the use of multispectral imaging as a diagnostic tool.
1968 Mascons are discovered in analysis of data from Lunar Orbiters; Apollo 8 astronauts orbit Moon.
1990 Galileo spacecraft collects compositional remote-sensing data during lunar flyby, demonstrating potential for future orbital geochemical missions.
Khan, A., Connolly, J. A. D., Maclennan, J. & Mosegaard, K. Joint inversion of seismic and gravity data for lunar composition and thermal state.
At this point in the year, it's almost useless to dissect China's macro data: the Lunar New Year, which came early in 2019, is messing with readings of economic activity again.
Others, deeper down, are lava flows from volcanoes that, according to data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, an American spacecraft, may have stopped erupting a mere 100m years ago.Interesting, then, if not revolutionary.
A considerable number of nearside maria have been dated by using image data from Lunar Orbiters and Apollo missions (e.g., Wilhelms and McCauley, 1971; Boyce, 1976; Wilhelms, 1987; Hiesinger et al., 2000, 2003, 2006, 2008; Bugiolacchi and Guest, 2008).
We assumed complete space suit self-support based on calculations using space suit ankle joint measurements (Nicole Jordan, personal communication) and video data of lunar astronauts (Text S1, Video S1).
Most previous studies have processed the imagery and laser altimeter data separately for lunar topographic modeling, and there are usually inconsistencies between the derived lunar topographic models.
This study utilizes data from the Lunar Prospector Electron Reflectometer (LP ER) to characterize electron distributions above the dayside lunar surface.
