South Korea to launch 1st moon mission 1 week from today
In May of this year, KPLO was officially named"Danuri," a blend of two Korean words that mean"moon" and"enjoy."
The six experiments are the Lunar Terrain Imager , the Wide-Angle Polarimetric Camera , a magnetometer called KMAG, a gamma-ray spectrometer known as KGRS, the Disruption Tolerant Network Experiment Payload and a high-sensitivity camera funded by NASA called ShadowCam. NASA's ShadowCam instrument will investigate sun-deprived areas of the moon called permanently shadowed regions.
In September 2016, NASA issued a solicitation seeking science instruments designed to enhance knowledge of the distribution of volatiles such as water, including the movement of such resources toward lunar permanently shadowed regions and how they become trapped there., an instrument developed by Arizona State University and San Diego-based Malin Space Science Systems.
"PSRs typically exist at lower reaches of host craters and topographic depressions where sunlight never reaches, making these regions extremely cold and hence favorable locations where volatile species, e.g., water, methane and ammonia, can remain trapped for long geologic time periods," Mahanti told Space.com.in polar craters by mapping reflectance within PSRs, Mahanti said. PSRs are illuminated only indirectly, by light reflected from nearby topographic features.
