NAME SLIM Laser Retro-Reflector Array (LRA)
TYPE Retroreflector Array
DESCRIPTION LRA (Laser Retroreflector Array) is a small, passive optical instrument designed to provide a target for precision laser ranging from a spacecraft in lunar orbit, enabling geolocation of the lander and its instrument suite and establishing a fiducial maker on the lunar surface. LRA contains eight 1.27-cm-diameter corner cube retroreflectors mounted on a dome-shaped aluminum structure. The LRA unit on SLIM is mounted adjacent to the solar arrays, designed to nominally be facing up from the lunar surface.
