FINAL Catalogue of Manmade Material on the Moon Catalogue of Manmade Material on the Moon NASA History Program Office 7-05-12 For the past half-century, the Moon has been the destination of some of humankind’s most monumental and challenging expeditions. As the Moon becomes more accessible to both national space programs and private enterprise, it is important that we protect lunar artifacts for both their historic and scientific value. The first step in preserving these artifacts is establishing exactly what is there and where it is. This resource offers a comprehensive catalogue of human artifacts on the Moon based on the currently available data.

Recently, a Japanese lunar orbiter SELENE known that SW protons flowing around the Moon access (KAGUYA) performed comprehensive measurements of the central region of the distant lunar wake, while their the plasma and electromagnetic environment around the intrusion deep into the near-Moon wake has never been Moon; in particular, entry of SW protons into the near- expected. We show that SW protons sneak into the deepest Moon wake was found [Nishino et al., 2009]. The SW lunar wake (anti-subsolar region at 100 km altitude), and protons are accelerated by the bipolar electric field around that the entry yields strong asymmetry of the near-Moon the wake boundary and come into the near-Moon wake by wake environment. Particle trajectory calculations their Larmor motion in the direction perpendicular to the demonstrate that these SW protons are once scattered at IMF. This entry mechanism, which we call ‘Type-I entry’, the lunar dayside surface, picked-up by the SW motional lets the SW protons come fairly deep into the wake (solar electric field, and finally sneak into the deepest wake.

  • Lunar Ionosphere Exploration Method Using Auroral Kilometric Radiation
    Earth Planets Space, 63, 47–56, 2011 Lunar ionosphere exploration method using auroral kilometric radiation Yoshitaka Goto1, Takamasa Fujimoto1, Yoshiya Kasahara1, Atsushi Kumamoto2, and Takayuki Ono2 1Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan 2Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan (Received June 3, 2009; Revised November 10, 2010; Accepted January 14, 2011; Online published February 21, 2011) The evidence of a lunar ionosphere provided by radio occultation experiments performed by the Soviet spacecraft Luna 19 and 22 has been controversial for the past three decades because the observed large density is difficult to explain theoretically without magnetic shielding from the solar wind. The KAGUYA mission provided an opportunity to investigate the lunar ionosphere with another method. The natural plasma wave receiver (NPW) and waveform capture (WFC) instruments, which are subsystems of the lunar radar sounder (LRS) on board the lunar orbiter KAGUYA, frequently observe auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) propagating from the Earth. The dynamic spectra of the AKR sometimes exhibit a clear interference pattern that is caused by phase differences between direct waves and waves reflected on a lunar surface or a lunar ionosphere if it exists. It was hypothesized that the electron density profiles above the lunar surface could be evaluated by comparing the observed interference pattern with the theoretical interference patterns constructed from the profiles with ray tracing. This method provides a new approach to examining the lunar ionosphere that does not involve the conventional radio occultation technique. Key words: KAGUYA, lunar ionosphere, auroral kilometric radiation. 1. Introduction 2001; Kurata et al., 2005).

  • 170221 Sps, Phase-Standing Whistler
    Symposium on Planetary Science 2017, February 20−21, Sendai Phase-standing whistler fuctuations detected by SELENE and ARTEMIS around the Moon Yasunori Tsugawa1, Y. Katoh2, N. Terada2, and S. Machida1 1Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University 2Department of Geophysics, Tohoku University Abstract Low frequency (<~0.01 Hz) magnetic fluctuations around the Moon in the solar wind have been reported since 1960s. They are extended upstream of the lunar wake edge along the interplanetary magnetic field lines. We analyze magnetic field data detected by SELENE and ARTEMIS to reveal generation processes of the fluctuations. Our analyses indicate that observed polarizations of the magnetic fluctuations are determined by the spacecraft velocity: right-hand polarization when S/C moves downstream, left-hand polarization when S/ C moves upstream. This fact suggests that their phase velocity in the Moon frame is smaller than the spacecraft velocity and they are R-mode in plasma frame, i.e., they are phase-standing whistlers. They are possibly generated as bow waves around the lunar crustal magnetic anomalies and/ or ballistic fluctuations carried by electrons modified through the wake. 6432 NESS AND SCHATTEN INTERPLANETARY MAGNETIC FIELD FLUCTUATIONSverse to the average6429 field direction.

A lunar near side array would be uniquely positioned to image this emission and provide a near real time measure of how the Earth's radiation belts are responding to the current solar in- put. The Salammb^ocode is a physical model of the dynamics of the three-dimensional phase-space electron densities in the radiation belts, allowing the prediction of 1 keV to 100 MeV electron distributions trapped in the belts.

    CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, MISSILE ASSEMBLY HAER FL-8-B BUILDING AE HAER FL-8-B (John F. Kennedy Space Center, Hanger AE) Cape Canaveral Brevard County Florida PHOTOGRAPHS WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD SOUTHEAST REGIONAL OFFICE National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 100 Alabama St. NW Atlanta, GA 30303 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, MISSILE ASSEMBLY BUILDING AE (Hangar AE) HAER NO. FL-8-B Location: Hangar Road, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Industrial Area, Brevard County, Florida. USGS Cape Canaveral, Florida, Quadrangle. Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinates: E 540610 N 3151547, Zone 17, NAD 1983. Date of Construction: 1959 Present Owner: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Present Use: Home to NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP) and the Launch Vehicle Data Center (LVDC). The LVDC allows engineers to monitor telemetry data during unmanned rocket launches. Significance: Missile Assembly Building AE, commonly called Hangar AE, is nationally significant as the telemetry station for NASA KSC’s unmanned Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) program. Since 1961, the building has been the principal facility for monitoring telemetry communications data during ELV launches and until 1995 it processed scientifically significant ELV satellite payloads. Still in operation, Hangar AE is essential to the continuing mission and success of NASA’s unmanned rocket launch program at KSC. It is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A in the area of Space Exploration as Kennedy Space Center’s (KSC) original Mission Control Center for its program of unmanned launch missions and under Criterion C as a contributing resource in the CCAFS Industrial Area Historic District.
