Selene (kaguya) Orbit Determination Results and Lunar Gravity Field Estimation by Using 4-way Doppler Measurements
SELENE (Kaguya) is Japan’s first large lunar explorer aims to obtain the scientific data to investigate the origin and the evolution of the moon and to acquire engineering techniques for the future moon exploration and utilization. The nominal mission phase finished at the end of October 2008, and the extended mission phase started from the beginning of November 2008. In order to perform the ad...
متن کاملA 1.5km-resolution gravity field model of the Moon
We present a high-resolution lunar gravity field model (LGM2011) that provides gravity accelerations, free-air gravity anomalies, selenoid undulations and vertical deflections over the entire Moon’s surface. LGM2011 is based on the Japanese SELENE mission that provides the lowand medium-frequency constituents of the gravity field, down to spatial scales of ~78 km. At spatial scales between ~78 ...
متن کاملImprovements in lunar gravity field modeling and orbit determination from SELENE multi-satellite tracking data types
The launch of SELENE, which acquired the first direct tracking data over the farside of the Moon by the use of 4-way Doppler data between a relay satellite and the main satellite, has resulted in a dramatic improvement of the knowledge of the global lunar gravity field[1,2]. In addition to the 4-way Doppler data, same-beam differential VLBI data between the two sub-satellites and two stations o...
متن کاملPerformance and scientific objectives of the SELENE (KAGUYA) Multiband Imager
The Multiband Imager (MI) is one of the 14 instruments for the Japanese SELENE (KAGUYA) mission. Goal of the SELENE (KAGUYA) mission is to understand origin and evolution of the Moon by obtaining global element and mineral compositions, topological structure, gravity field of the whole Moon, and electromagnetic and particle environment of the Moon. MI is designed to be a high-resolution multiba...
متن کاملHow Old Are Small Lunar Craters ? - a Depth-to-diameter Ratio Based Analyis
Introduction: In contrast to the larger craters (D > 10km) and basins which shaped the baseline morphology of the Moon, small lunar craters (SLC) continue to form and modify the local topography of the Moon. SLCs form on and around larger craters and basins, are the most populous impact features on the surface but also the least studied topographic data was available only for larger craters unt...
