Origin of glass deposits in lunar craters.
country to the economic activity existing in developed countries. Incidentally, my planning office has just finished a feasibility study for an area in the Amazon Basin where 500 families may be settled in 14,400 hectares (1 hectare = 10,000 square meters), with a loan of $16,000 (United States dollars) per family extending over a 10-year period. After 10 years each family will have paid the lo...
متن کاملImplications of the Deepest Freshest Lunar Craters
Lunar Topographic Orthophoto maps (LTO) at 1:250 k scale have been used as a basis to measure the depth (dr and ds), diameter (D), and rim height (Hr) for 359 fresh Lunar craters in the diameter range of .08 – 131 km along the Apollo metric camera ground tracks. This study used LTO maps with high enough sun angle photography to permit deep crater depth measurements. This includes an area of ~ 3...
متن کاملRover Configuration for Exploring Lunar Craters
Configuration of locomotion for planetary rovers is motivated by increased interest in exploring lunar polar craters. Current rover designs cannot achieve the ascent or descent required by steep, unconsolidated lunar slopes. New designs must provide locomotive capability for steep climbing, techniques for controlling slip, and safely navigating down and along steep slopes. We propose a locomoti...

متن کاملIcy wave-cloud lunar corona and cirrus iridescence.
Dual-polarization lidar data and radiosonde data are used to determine that iridescence in cirrus and a lunar corona in a thin wave cloud were caused by tiny ice crystals, not droplets of liquid water. The size of the corona diffraction rings recorded in photographs is used to estimate the mean diameter of the diffracting particles to be 14.6 μm, much smaller than conventional ice crystals. The...
