It really is a great image. Looking forward to seeing the result of some of these experiments, especially EDS.
Here's a list of all the experiments onboard:
- LMS: Measures lunar electric/magnetic fields to study interior up to 700 miles deep.
- LISTER: Drills 3 meters to measure lunar heat flow and cooling history.
- SCALPSS: Images rocket plume effects on lunar soil during landing.
- LEXI: Captures X-ray images of Earth’s magnetosphere from the Moon.
- EDS: Tests electric field to remove lunar dust from surfaces.
- LuGRE: Tracks GPS/Galileo signals for lunar navigation.
- RAC: Studies how regolith sticks to materials.
- NGLR: Laser target for precise Earth-Moon distance measurements.
- RTCS: Tests radiation-tolerant computer for space use.
- LPV: Vacuums lunar soil for analysis.
