| Abstract(in English) | A moon-orbiting observatory mission, SELENE(Selenological and Engineering Explorer), is planned for 2003.The SELENE will consist of a main orbiting satellite at about 100km altitude near the polar circular orbit, a relay satellite on an elliptical orbit with an apolune at 2400km, and a landing module(propulsion module). The scientific objectives of the mission are;1)study of the origin and evolution of the moon, 2)in-situ measurement of the lunar environment, and 3) observation of the solar terrestrial plasma environment from the lunar orbit.The SELENE will carry instruments for scientific investigation including mapping of lunar topography and surface composition, measurement of the gravity and magnetic fields, and observation of lunar and solar terrestrial environments.The total mass of scientific payload is about 275kg.The mission period will be typically 14 months. |
