Introduction: The Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) provides NASA's space science enterprise an information system named SPICE, comprising both data and software, used by scientists to plan observations and to ana- lyze the data returned from those observations. SPICE data include items such as solar system body's ephemerides, sizes, shapes and orientations; spacecraft trajectory and orientation; instrument pointing and field-of-view geometry; reference frame (coordinate system) specifications and parameters needed for time conversion capabilities. Since the time of the last Planetary Data Workshop NAIF has released two new tools: WebGeocalc, a Graphical User In- terface to a SPICE geometry engine, and Cosmographia, a SPICE-enabled data 3D mission visualization tool. NAIF has also greatly enhanced a Digital Shape Kernel subsystem, useful in providing observation geometry information based on high-fidelity models of target bodies. In parallel to the 2nd Planetary Data Workshop NAIF will offer a SPICE class illustrating how these new capabilities may be used. 2 Second Planetary Data Workshop (2015) 7037.pdf POW AND MAP2: JOB MANAGEMENT AND ADVANCED PROCESSING.

Relevance: To make PDS EDRs useful for Currently, ISIS must be installed on a UNIX science analysis, they must be radiometrically platform (e.g., Linux or Mac OSX) and requires calibrated and then map-projected [7]. While the user to be familiar with UNIX operating some instrument teams deliver map-projected system commands. POW and MAP2 allow data, these products may not be in the most researchers to make use of a wealth of PDS useful projection for the region studied. POW science data without having to install or learn provides users with calibrated cartographic how to run ISIS. Users also benefit from a images and MAP2 provides derived data validated data processing pipeline as defined by products. Both services provide map projection USGS and the instrument teams. This service and processing to create derived data products can be used as a learning tool or an introduction that can be used readily for geologic mapping, to ISIS because a detailed log of the ISIS change detection, merging of dissimilar commands and their settings is provided along instrument images, analysis in a Geographic with the processed data products.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • Aas 21-290 Cislunar Space Situational Awareness
    AAS 21-290 CISLUNAR SPACE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS Carolin Frueh*, Kathleen Howell†, Kyle J. DeMars‡, Surabhi Bhadauria§ Classically, space situational awareness (SSA) and space traffic management (STM) focus on the near-Earth region, which is highly populated by satellites and space debris objects. With the expansion of space activities further in the cislunar space, the problems of SSA and STM arise anew in regions far away from the near-Earth realm. This paper investigates the conditions for successful Space Situational Awareness and Space Traffic Management in the cislunar region by drawing a direct comparison to the known challenges and solutions in the near-Earth realm, highlighting similarities and differences and their implications on Space Traffic Management engineering solutions. INTRODUCTION Space Situational Awareness (SSA), sometimes called Space Domain Awareness (SDA), can be understood as summary terms for the comprehensive knowledge on all objects in a specific region without necessarily having direct communication to those objects. Space Traffic Management (STM), as an extrapolatory term, is applying the SSA knowledge to manage this said region to enable sustainable use. All three of those terms have traditionally been applied to the realm of the near-Earth space, usually expanding from low Earth orbit (LEO) to hyper geostationary orbit (hyper-GEO), and the objects of interest are objects in orbital motion for which the dominant astrodynamical term is the central gravitational potential of the Earth. Space Traffic Management (STM) aims at engineering solutions, methods, and protocols that allow regulating space fairing in a manner enabling the sustainable use of space. SSA and SDA thereby provide the knowledge-base for STM, and the areas are heavily intertwined.

The approach taken was to compare the status and population trends of stocks of key cetacean species in three areas with E&P activities―Alaska (subdivided into three regions, the Beaufort, Bering and Chukchi seas), Australia (Western and southeast regions), and Sakhalin Island, Russia―with corresponding parameters for stocks of the same species (where possible) in areas where E&P activities were absent or greatly reduced. The project involved a critical review of existing and historical data on cetacean stocks, and a compilation of data on E&P activities and non-industry factors that may have influenced stocks, in the areas of interest. Data were assessed in terms of quality, quantity, and temporal and spatial coverage to determine whether sufficient data were available for a reasonable assessment of correlations between cetacean populations and E&P activities.

    EVIDENCE FOR ANCIENT LUNAR BASALTS, P. H. Schultz, Lunarand Planetary Institute, 3303 NASA Road 1, Houston, TX 77058; P. D. Spudis, Department of Geology, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85281 and D. Sellers, Lunar and Planetary Institute, 3303 NASA Road 1 , Houston, TX 77058. Mare basal t units on the Moon are general ly recognized by their 1 ow a1 bedo, a result of the presence of mafic minerals. This fundamental diagnostic obser- vation has been used either implicitly or explicitly to map lunar basal ts and basal tic pyrocl asti cs (1 ) . Where mare basal ts have been buried by crater ejecta deposits, they may be revealed by dark excavated deposits around smaller craters that post date the burial event. The resulting dark-haloed craters have been recognized by numerous 1unar observers (2,3) and are perhaps best i 11 ustrated around Coperni cus , Theophi 1us, and Langrenus (4). The dark-ha1 oed impact craters around Copernicus, in particular, not only reveal the low albedo excavated material but also exhibit the same spectral signature as the local pre-Copernicus basal tic surface. The same approach can be used for larger craters that have excavated more deeply buried deposits. If the crater is too large (D >30 km), then near-surface secondary impact ejecta may dilute the photometric signature of primary crater ejecta. However, near-rim ejecta around smaller craters cannot excavate as large quantities of local material owing to the low impact velocities (v <I50 m/s) within one crater radius of the rim. The preservation of distinctive spectral signatures characterizing buried units in the near-rim deposits of craters such as Picard and Dionysius strength- en this statement.
