Observational planning for the 2026 August 5 Falcon 9 Upper Stage lunar impact
Benjamin Fernando, Jennifer Heldmann, Bill Grey +20
On 2026 August 5, at approximately 06:35 UT, a spent Falcon 9 upper stage will impact the lunar surface near Einstein Crater. This event will occur on sunlit terrain near the easte…
Constraining low-altitude lunar dust using the LADEE-UVS data
H. Sharma, M. M. Hedman, D. H. Wooden +2
Studying lunar dust is vital to the exploration of the Moon and other airless planetary bodies. The Ultraviolet and Visible Spectrometer (UVS) on board the Lunar Atmosphere and Dus…
Detection and Quantification of Volatiles at Mars using a multispectral LIDAR
Adrian J. Brown, Timothy Michaels, Lori Fenton +14
We present a concept for using a polarization sensitive multispectral lidar to map the seasonal distribution and exchange of volatiles among the reservoirs of the Martian surface a…
The science case for a modern, multi-wavelength, polarization-sensitive LIDAR in orbit around Mars
Adrian J. Brown, Timothy I. Michaels, Shane Byrne +5
We present the scientific case to build a multiple-wavelength, active, near-infrared (NIR) instrument to measure the reflected intensity and polarization characteristics of backsca…
Locating the LCROSS Impact Craters
William Marshall, Mark Shirley, Zachary Moratto +9
The Lunar CRater Observations and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission impacted a spent Centaur rocket stage into a permanently shadowed region near the lunar south pole. The Sheperd…
