Evidence for water ice on the Moon: Results for anomalous polar craters from the LRO MiniRF imaging radar
[1] The Mini-RF radar instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft mapped both lunar poles in two different RF wavelengths (complete mapping at 12.6 cm S-band and partial mapping at 4.2 cm X-band) in two look directions, removing much of the ambiguity of previous Earthand spacecraft-based radar mapping of the Moon’s polar regions. The poles are typical highland terrain, showing exp...
متن کاملPreliminary Electromagnetic Simulations of Radar Scattering from the Lunar Surface as Applied to Mini-rf Observations
Introduction: Bistatic radar measurements of the lunar surface are being carried out by the Mini-RF team using Arecibo as a transmitter, cf. Fig. 1. The resulting radar images – the first to be collected at non-zero bistatic phase angle β (between source and receiver) – are being studied extensively to test the hypothesis that water ice resides inside permanently shadowed and perhaps other very...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Surface Roughness Effect on Flow Boiling in Internal Combustion Engine Water Jacket
The subjects of heat transfer and cooling system are very important topics in the Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). In modern cooling systems, low weight, small size and high compactness are the critical designing criteria that requires heat transfer enhancement. Boiling phenomenon which is occurred in the water jacket of the ICE is one of the methods to increase heat transfer in the coolant s...
متن کاملStudy on Experimental and Modeling of Rotary Roll Dressing of Grinding Wheels
Two of the important parameters in grinding operation are surface roughness of the workpiece and the amount of consumed energy. These parameters are strongly affected by the condition of grinding wheel surface which is dependent on the dressing parameters. Predicting the roughness of the grinding wheel surface after dressing with known dressing parameters can improve the grinding process. Resea...
متن کاملAn upper limit for ice in Shackleton crater as revealed by LRO Mini-RF orbital radar
[1] Although diverse measurements have indicated H, OH , or H2O species in the lunar polar regions, pinpointing its location, form, and abundance in specific reservoirs has proven elusive. Here we report on the first orbital radar measurements of Shackleton crater near the lunar south pole. Mini-RF observations indicate a patchy, heterogeneous enhancement in CPR (circular polarization ratio) on...
