SMART-1 science experiments co-ordination
Abstract
SMART-1 is the first European Space Agency mission to the Moon, due for launch in the first months of 2003. Its primary goal is to test new technologies for space navigation and science. In its science experiments, SMART-1 will include new, very compact experiments. This paper aims to demonstrate some of the science experiment operations foreseen for the mission. We describe the SMART-1 mission, its orbit and example scenarios for imaging specific targets (such as Tycho and Copernicus craters).
