2 LROC Measurement Objectives 1. Sub-meter resolution imaging to select landing sites 2. Repeat imaging (100 m/pixel) of poles to identify regions of permanent shadow and (nearly?) continuous illumination 3. Meter-scale mapping of polar regions with (nearly?) continuous illumination 4. Overlapping observations to enable derivation of meter-scale topography 5. Global multispectral imaging for mineralogy and resource identification 6. Global morphology base map with high quality control 7. Characterize regolith (lunar soil) properties 8. Determine current impact hazard by re-imaging Apollo era images to count new craters NACWAC SCS
