| NAME |
Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite Total Luminance Photometer
|
| TYPE |
Photometer
|
| DESCRIPTION |
The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) Total Luminence Photometer (TLP) was designed to measure the total impact flash luminance, magnitude, and decay of the luminance curve by providing visible light (0.4 to 1.0 micron) intensity data at a 1000 Hz sampling rate. The TLP comprised a Sensor Electronics Module (SEM) and a Digital Electronics Module (DEM). The sensor element, in the SEM, was an uncooled avalanche photodiode. The optics gave a roughly 10 degree diameter field of view. The SEM also contained the signal filtering, and the DEM converted the analog sensor signal to a digital output. The instrument was mounted on the inboard side of the LCROSS R6 radiator panel with its aperture pointing in the +X spacecraft direction.
