The Lunar Geophysical Network Landing Sites Science Rationale
Heidi Fuqua Haviland, Renee C. Weber, Clive R. Neal +16
The Lunar Geophysical Network (LGN) mission is proposed to land on the Moon in 2030 and deploy packages at four locations to enable geophysical measurements for 6-10 years. Returni…
Design and optimization of dihedral angle offsets for the next generation lunar retro-reflectors
C. Wu, D. Currie, D. Wellnitz +1
Lunar laser ranging (LLR) to the Apollo retro-reflectors, which features the most long-lasting experiment in testing General Relativity theories, has remained operational over the…
Extending Science from Lunar Laser Ranging
Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +18
The Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment has accumulated 50 years of range data of improving accuracy from ground stations to the laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) on the lunar su…
Opportunities for Probing Fundamental Gravity with Solar System Experiments
Slava G. Turyshev, Thomas W. Murphy, Eric G. Adelberger +13
The recent discovery of "dark energy" has challenged Einstein's general theory of relativity as a complete model for our macroscopic universe. From a theoretical view, the challeng…
Initial Results from the USNO Dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrograph
Arsen R. Hajian, Bradford B. Behr, Andrew T. Cenko +15
We have designed and constructed a ``dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrometer'' (dFTS), consisting of a conventional FTS followed by a grating spectrometer. By combining these two…
Analysis of isoplanatic high resolution stellar fields by Starfinder code
E. Diolaiti, O. Bendinelli, D. Bonaccini +3
We describe a new code for the deep analysis of stellar fields, designed for Adaptive Optics Nyquist-sampled images with high and low Strehl ratio. The Point Spread Function is ext…
