Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande Aberystwyth in Space – the Moon ExoMars Chandrayaan STEREO Bepi VEX Solar B SDO LoFAR IHY

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande This is a Double Planet. The Moon is the 8 th Continent

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande The Moon Ancient body Two major terrains –maria (basalts) –highlands (crust) Most visited planetary body other than Earth Window into our past

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande Apollo and Luna sample returns 6 Manned Apollo landings 3 Luna sample returns Over 380kg rock and soil brought So you might think we know all about it WRONG!! We still don’t know how the Earth moon system formed

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande * * ** * Apollo and Luna Landing sites

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande Unanswered questions about the Moon How was the Earth Moon system created? Necessary data for the answer i s composition on a global scale (not just from a few landing sites

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande SMART-1 (ESA) Small Missions in Advanced Research Technology - technology demonstration Propulsion Remote sensing: imaging camera IR spectrometer X-ray spectrometer Radio Science Telemetry

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande SMART Propulsion First time electric propulsion has been used by Europe in space

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande D-CIXS incorporated Two New Technologies Swept Charge Device (SCD) Detectors Advanced Microstructure Collimator This Enabled it to provide: High Throughput X-ray Spectrometer Compact, light design Near room temperature operation SMART-1 D-CIXS

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande D-CIXS X-ray Spectrometer on SMART-1 Sun Shines in X-rays 1 The Sun shines on the Moon (in X rays) 2 The Moon fluoresces 3 Each X-ray energy indicates unambiguously the abundance of a particular element in the surface 4 D-Cixs used two new technologies to detect these X-rays 5 So we can measure what the Moon is made of

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande Detailed task of fitting Lunar composition to the data. This is close to the Apollo 12 landing site

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande The Future –Kaguya Japanese KAGUYA was succesfully injected into lunar orbit on Sep We are (only) guest investigators on the X-ray instrument Best ever pictures of the Moon

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande Lunar Remote Sensing and Cartography

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande Mapping the Moon (Google Moon) Current best contour map of the far side of the Moon Huge positional errors, as big as km SMART-1 nearly impacted in the wrong place because of this Tony Cook at Aber, who is one of the world’s experts, pointed this out! Japanese Selene is a desperately needed mission for accurately mapping the Moon, especially landing sites mission

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande South PoleLunar Base

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande UWA Planetary Analogue Terrain Laboratory “Mars Yard” EU facility ½ scale (ExoMars Phase A) 18 × DoF chassis

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande UWA 3 DoF ARM and DLR Mole (can be mounted on chassis) UWA PanCam (can be mounted on chassis) Part of PAT Lab. with DLR Mars soil simulant-D Small selection of instruments and science target rocks Link with PAFS-NET UWA Planetary Analogue Terrain Laboratory (PAT Lab.) - 2

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande A robot telescope on the Moon Our robot telescope is available for teaching and is also practicing for the Moon! And we provide Seagullcam!

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande C1XS

Solar System Physics Group Open Day Manuel Grande C1XS – Aberystwyth Returns to the Moon! C1XS in Bangalore after preliminary integration XSM delivered Awaiting final integration and launch (19 Sept)
