| NAME |
Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite Near Infrared Spectrometer 2

| TYPE |
Spectrometer
|
| DESCRIPTION |
The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) Near Infrared Spectrometer 2 (NSP2), or solar-viewer or occultation NSP, was one of two NSPs with identical electronics units but different fore-optics systems and view directions. NSP2 was looking perpendicular (-Z spacecraft direction) to the view of the other instruments on LCROSS, and was designed to take NIR emission reflectance spectrometry of the vapor plume and ejecta cloud resulting from the Centaur impact, measure the grain properties, and measure broad water features, and use an occultation viewer to measure water vapor absorption by cloud particles.
