| LRI was found in order to carry out
the
Lunar Prospector mission which used a Gamma Ray
Spectrometer, a Neutron Spectrometer, an Alpha Particle Spectrometer,
a Magnetometer, an Electron Reflectometer, and a Doppler Gravity
Experiment to gather a wealth of data about the composition
of the lunar surface, polar ice deposits, the Moon's magnetic
fields, the lunar dipole moment, the size of the lunar core
and the lunar gravity field. The science data from the Lunar
Prospector mission can be accessed by visiting the Planetary
Data System. Also below you will find links to
all the current science papers from the Lunar Prospector Science
team, as well as a link to Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you
will need installed on your computer in order to view the
PDF science papers.
If the USA is going to keep its preeminence in lunar exploration
and utilization, LRI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT. Since LRI depends
solely on the direct philanthropic support of interested
individuals and corporations your generous support is always
needed and greatly appreciated! Make
a donation. |
