| ID No : | 607 Edit | Title: | Acquisition and Tracking of the LCROSS Impact Site with Keck-II |
| Summary / Review : | "We plan to use the Keck-II high-resolution, near-infrared, spectrograph (NIRSPEC) to measure the subliming water vapor in the LCROSS ejecta curtain. The impact of the 2200 kg kinetic impactor will result in an approximately 6000 kg plume, approximately 30 kg of which is expected to be water ice. We hope to detect the spectral signature of that water by keeping the NIRSPEC slit fixed on the plume for a sufficient length of time to acquire the needed spectra." (Author's abstract) |
