| ID No : | 602 Edit | Title: | LRO Targeting of Lunar Pyroclastic Deposits |
| Summary / Review : | "Lunar pyroclastic deposits are high-priority targets for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission. Images from the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC; 0.5 m/pixel images and mosaics) and Wide Angle Camera (WAC; 7-band imager, 100 m/p VIS, 400 m/p UV) subsystems of the LRO Camera (LROC), supplemented by coordinated observations from the Mini-RF and Diviner instruments, will provide information about the lunar surface to address major questions about these deposits. In the first year, the LRO mission will address imaging targets that are of interest to the NASA Constellation (Cx) Program as potential landing sites and for exploration on the lunar surface. In the second year, LRO will move into a science phase that emphasizes scientific targets. Targeting for all sites is underway currently. This abstract describes the science rationale and status of LRO targets for pyroclastic deposits." (Author's abstract) |
