Detecting and characterizing the abundance and form of water-ice in permanently-shadowed regions of the moon using a three-band lidar system

Detecting and characterizing the abundance and form of water-ice in permanently-shadowed regions of the moon using a three-band lidar system

We investigated the ability of a three-band lidar instrument (with wavelengths of 532, 1064, and 1560 nm) to detect and quantify different types of regolith ± water ice mixtures for both mare and highlands regions. A variety of samples were spectrally characterized, focusing on variables such as typ...

Zusammenfassung:We investigated the ability of a three-band lidar instrument (with wavelengths of 532, 1064, and 1560 nm) to detect and quantify different types of regolith ± water ice mixtures for both mare and highlands regions. A variety of samples were spectrally characterized, focusing on variables such as type of lunar regolith (simulant, lunar meteorite, highland vs mare), grain size (
