Lunar laser ranging
Lunar laser ranging has provided many of the best tests of gravitation since the first Apollo astronauts landed on the Moon. The march to higher precision continues to this day, now entering the millimeter regime, and promising continued improvement in scientific results. This review introduces key aspects of the technique, details the motivations, observables, and results for a variety of scie...
متن کاملReduction, analysis and application of one-way laser ranging data from ILRS ground stations to LRO
One-way LR (Laser Ranging) is being performed routinely from ILRS (International Laser Ranging Service) ground stations to LOLA (Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter), onboard NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter). We developed software to process this novel type of tracking data and perform a preliminary analysis. By incorporating the high accuracy spacecraft range measurements into orbit determi...
متن کاملReduction and analysis of one-way laser ranging data from ILRS ground stations to LRO
One-way LR (Laser Ranging) is being performed routinely from ILRS (International Laser Ranging Service) ground stations to LOLA (Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter), onboard NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter). From the accurate range measurements, spacecraft orbits and parameters of the lunar gravity field can be modeled. Furthermore, the data can be used for monitoring the long-term behavior...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Automated Feature Extraction from Laser Ranging Data
An algorithm is presented which extracts features from a time series of Flash LADAR images without a-priori knowledge of the surrounding environment. Flash LADAR utilizes laser ranging to acquire 3D information in the object space, which may be utilized to reconstruct the sensor environment. The extracted features are tested to identify motion artifacts and separate entities into static and non...
متن کاملAPOLLO: Multiplexed Lunar Laser Ranging
The Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) is a nextgeneration lunar laser ranging (LLR) campaign aimed at order-of-magnitude improvements in tests of gravitational physics via millimeter range precision. We will employ the 3.5 m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory (APO), located in southern New Mexico at an altitude of 2800 m. As a result of the large aperture si...
