About this technology

Overview

This set of analysis functions can be used to assess lunar landing site solar illumination and communication availability using lunar terrain masks obtained from the terrain data, obtained from measurements of the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft, to model terrain-based blockage.
