RESULTS FROM SMART-1 ARCHIVE DATA COMBINED WITH RECENT MISSIONS
We highlight new results from combined data analysis using SMART-1 archive with data from other recent lunar missions. We concentrate on results obtained on the lunar farside, the poles and about the coupling between impact, volcanic and tectonic processes.
SMART-1 demonstrated the use of Solar Electric Propulsion for deep space, tested new technologies for spacecraft and instruments
miniaturisation, and provided an opportunity for science [1-24] until impact on 3 September 2006.
To date, 77 refereed papers and more than 330 conference or technical papers have been published based on SMART-1 (see ADS on SMART-1
scitech website). The SMART-1 data are accessible on the ESA Planetary Science Archive PSA [13].
The lunar North and South polar illumination was mapped and monitored over the entire year, permitting to identify “SMART-1 peaks of quasi-eternal light”, then charcterised with subsequent missions.
The surface mineralogy maps of the central and northern parts of the South-Pole Aitken basin, was based on Clementine and SMART-1 AMIE images for additional geomorphological and stratigraphic information.
