This study investigates various models to represent the gross geometric shape of the Moon. Asymmetric polyaxial geometric modelsnamely three-, fourand six-axial lunar figure are compared and contrasted with the axially symmetric three-axis ellipsoidal model derived from Chang'e 1 and SELENE laser altimetry data. All solutions confirm a hydrostatically stable lunar shape shifted with respect to ...

Introduction: Lunar meteorites come from random sites on the Moon (including areas not visited by Apollo or Lunar missions) and so are crucial for understanding the development of the whole moon, and as ground truth for lunar remote sensing. Data from the Lunar Prospector and Clementine spacecraft show that, relative to the Apollo and Luna landing sites, most of the lunar surface has low abunda...

Analysis of Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data provides science results: gravitational physics and ephemeris information from the orbit, lunar science from rotation and solidbody tides, and Earth science. Science from the orbit: Sensitive tests of gravitational physics include the Equivalence Principle, limits on the time variation of the gravitational constant G, and geodetic precession. The equiv...

The lunar magma ocean model is a well-established theory of the early evolution of the Moon. By this model, the Moon was initially largely molten and the anorthositic crust that now covers much of the lunar surface directly crystallized from this enormous magma source. We are undertaking a study of the geochemical characteristics of anorthosites from lunar meteorites to test this model. Rare ea...

[1] We report observations by the dual-probe Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon’s Interaction with the Sun (ARTEMIS) mission of Moon-related electron and ion signatures obtained above the dayside lunar surface in the terrestrial magnetotail lobes. While the Moon is often thought of as a passive absorber, recent observations from Kaguya, Chandrayaan, Chang’E, ...

In June 2009 the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft was launched to the Moon. The payload consists of 7 science instruments selected to characterize sites for future robotic and human missions. Among them, the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) was designed to obtain altimetry, surface roughness, and reflectance measurements. The primary phase of lunar exploration lasted one year, ...

We have studied phase synchronization between two identical Rössler oscillators connected in the drive-response configuration by a single phase signal. Before the transition to phase synchronization, the distribution of the time interval between consecutive 2pi jumps shows several sharp peaks. With a strong phase signal coupling, the n:m phase synchronization between the oscillators can be achi...

In this paper, we model the reflectance of the lunar regolith by a new method combining Monte Carlo ray tracing and Hapke's model. The existing modeling methods exploit either a radiative transfer model or a geometric optical model. However, the measured data from an Interference Imaging spectrometer (IIM) on an orbiter were affected not only by the composition of minerals but also by the envir...
