Report for period 21 November to 18 December 2005
Smart-1 push-broom operations have continued throughout the reporting period without interruptions. The illumination of the +Y face of the S/C in last period of push broom operations resulted in the highest peak temperatures ever measured in the star tracker cameras. All payload data could be dumped to earth except from a few megabytes that were lost due to two double EDAC re-occurrences that forced the reset of part of the payload stores memory.

Flight Dynamics has completed the first analysis of the Smart-1 impact on the Moon in 2006 and the different options. The current prediction estimates the impact on the Moon in August 2006

Кстати. нельзя ли с помощью СМАРТа посмотреть последствия этого взрыва, видимого даже с Земли?

Вадим, вы развращены НАСАвской любовью к показухе.
В более серьезных организациях пока не снимут всех сливок (читай - диссертаций, статей в толстых специализированных журналах) никто ничего пока показывать не будет.

А в СССР, кстати, и не показали бы. Кроме пары-другой панорам. Стали бы вы говорить про аццкий заговор советских ученых?  :wink:

Между прочим, эту самую "любовь к показухе" NASA надо ставить в гигантский плюс.  :twisted:

This composite image, obtained by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft, shows a nice scene near the Moon terminator (the line separating lunar day and night)

Latest Operational Update
28 Feb 2006 16:47
Report for period 16 January to 19 February 2006
Smart-1 suffered another Double EDAC error on 19 of January. SSC requested ESOC to compile all addresses that have been subject of double EDAC errors and sent them to SSC to check for a possible correlation with a specific chip malfunction. This time ESOC tried a new procedure that prevents loosing any data, this was done on 20 January and proved to be successful.

For the rest, Smart-1 operation has been nominal during the reporting period.


Исследованием Луны на зонде SMART-1 будут заниматься рентгеновский спектрометр D-CIXS, солнечный монитор XSM, инфракрасный спектрометр SIR и камера AMIE. Вся эта аппаратура сейчас работает нормально.

an important experiment


The European  Moon probe SMART-1, which was developed by SSC for ESA, has been orbiting the Moon since November 2004. Its main mission, to qualify an electric propulsion system, is completed, and the probe is now making observations of the lunar surface using its scientific instruments onboard. The first scientific results from SMART-1 will be published in connection with an ESA event in February.
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=19194
The natural effects of gravity from the Sun and the Earth will cause SMART-1 to crash on the lunar surface in August this year. The touch-down will take place in a flat angle near latitude 37 degrees south.  The crash, which may be observed by telescope from Earth, can stir up dust or create other effects that may give valuable information about the lunar surface.

More on SMART-1 impacting the Moon
http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2006/03/15/more-on-smart-1-impacting-the-moon/
A little while back, I blogged about plans to let the SMART-1 probe impact the Moon. My friend Emily Lakdawalla interviewed Bernard Foing, the Project Scientist for SMART-1, about their plans, and she clears up some of the questions I wasn't able to answer. The impact will occur on or about September 2-3. The uncertainty is due to — get this — the fact that the angle of impact is incredibly small, about a degree, so the probe will be skimming the surface of the Moon for the last few hours. If a hill rears up, smack! Since we don't know the topography of Moon very accurately, they're not sure exactly when or where it will hit. That's amazing, and makes me realize that even though the Moon is the closest of the objects in the sky, there is still a lot more to learn and to know about it.



Planetarysociety
OK, so why don't they know the impact time to an accuracy of less than 7 hours? The problem is that when SMART-1 crashes, it will do so at a tiny, tiny, glancing angle -- it will be coming in at an angle of 1 degree over a landscape that has local slopes of up to around 10 degrees. Unfortunately, the topography of the Moon is only mapped at a horizontal resolution of about a kilometer. What that means is that they can't know the characteristics of the local topography underneath SMART-1's course well enough ahead of time to predict on which of three orbits SMART-1 will impact the surface. In other words, if there's a high hill in SMART-1's path, it will hit one orbit before the one they predict; if SMART-1 happens to slide through gaps between hills, it could hit one orbit after the one they predict. The orbits have about a 5-hour period. Thus the uncertainty. As a result, Foing has to go to a lot of telescopes on Earth and ask them to be ready to photograph a flash that they may end up not being able to see.
http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00000496/
One mind-boggling fact he mentioned was that on the orbit before the crash, they could well be sailing along only 400 meters above the lunar surface. Yikes.

SMART-1's view of Crater Hopmann: on the shoulder of a giant
3 May 2006



This image, taken by the advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft, shows one quarter of crater Hopmann - an impact structure about 88 kilometres in diameter.
 
AMIE obtained this image on 25 January 2006 from a distance of about 840 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution of 76 metres per pixel.
The imaged area, not visible from Earth because it is located on the far side of the Moon, is positioned at latitude of 51.7

SMART-1 manoeuvres prepare for mission end
23 June 2006

After sixteen months orbiting the Moon, ESA's lunar mission is preparing for the end of its scientific exploration. On 19 June, SMART-1 mission controllers initiated a 17-day series of manoeuvres aimed at positioning the spacecraft to enhance science data return as the mission winds down.
 
SMART-1, Europe's successful first Moon mission, is scheduled to end on 3 September 2006, impacting on the Moon's surface in a disposal plan similar to that of many earlier lunar missions and almost three years to the day after its 2003 launch.  
 
The recently started manoeuvre campaign aims to avoid having the spacecraft intersect with the Moon at a disadvantageous time from the scientific point of view, as it would have naturally about 17 August if left alone. Instead, this 'extension' to mission operations will provide new opportunities for low-altitude scientific observations and give optimum science returns during and after the spacecraft's controlled impact on the Moon.

In preparation for mission end, spacecraft controllers at ESOC, ESA's Spacecraft Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, have started a series of thruster firings to give a 'delta-velocity,' or change in velocity, of approximately 12 metres per second. This will raise the orbit perilune (point of closest passage over the Moon) by about 90 kilometres, and will shift the impact to 3 September.
 
"The shift in date, time and location for Moon intersection is also optimised to favour scientific observations from Earth," said Gerhard Schwehm, ESA's SMART-1 Mission Manager. "Projections based on the current orbit indicated that the spacecraft, if left as is, would impact the Moon on the far side, away from ground contact and visibility. The new location is on the Moon's near-side, at mid-southern latitudes."
