Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Instrument Overview (2010, methodology): “The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) is designed to address two of the LRO Level 1 measurement objectives: Landing site certification and determination of polar illumination (Chin et al. 2007; NASA 2004b).”
Illumination conditions of the lunar polar regions using LOLA topography (2011, methodology): “(2003) also made simulations using simple crater shapes to estimate the amount of permanent shadow in the polar regions. Radar experiments performed with the Arecibo and Goldstone radio-telescopes acquired significantly improved south pole topography (Margot et al., 1999), which was used in later st”
Lunar impact basins: Stratigraphy, sequence and ages from superposed impact crater populations measured from Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) data (2012, background): “Finally, both crater counts and stratigraphic observations based on LOLA data are applicable to specific basin stratigraphic problems of interest; for example, using these data, we suggest that Serenitatis is older than Nectaris, and Humboldtianum is younger than Crisium.”
The Mercury Laser Altimeter Instrument for the MESSENGER Mission (2007, methodology): “A scaled version of the MLA architecture has been used in the design of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument (Chin et al. 2007).”
Hybrid-Polarity SAR Architecture (2006, methodology): “The hybridpolarity architecture emerged as the optimum, to be flown as the Mini-SAR on Chandraayan-1 [20] and the Mini-RF on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter [ 21 ], both to be launched in 2008.”
