印度空间研究组织（ISRO）已启动一项新举措，发射专门用于行星探索、天文观测以及空间和大气科学的专用科学卫星。月船一号的月球使命是这一新倡议的第一个行星探索使命。定于2007年晚些时候发射的“月船1号”使命的主要科学目标是，根据高分辨率月球地质和化学测绘，进一步了解月球的起源和演变。为实现这一科学目标而确定的一套基线有效载荷包括一台地形测绘照相机、一台超光谱成像仪、一台低能X射线光谱仪、一台高能X-γ射线光谱仪和一台月球激光测距仪。这些有效载荷将以比以前和目前计划的月球任务更好的分辨率提供月球表面的矿物学，化学和摄影地质学测绘。它们将允许：（一）以高空间分辨率（≤20公里）直接估计元素Mg、Al、Si、Ca、Ti和Fe的月球表面浓度;（二）对月球表面进行高分辨率（~ 100米）紫外-可见-近红外测绘，以确定各种月球矿物的丰度;（三）对月球表面进行高分辨率三维测绘;以及（四）月球上挥发物迁移的性质，特别是在寒冷的月球极地地区。印度空间研究组织还向国际科学界提供了参与“月船1号”使命的机会，并选定了补充“月船1号”使命基本目标的几个有效载荷，供纳入这一使命。这些是：一种微型成像雷达仪器（Mini-SAR）探索月球极地地区，寻找可能存在的水冰，两个红外光谱仪（SIR-2和月球矿物绘图仪：MMM）用于将范围扩展到超光谱成像仪之外，低能X射线光谱仪（CIXS）用于高分辨率化学绘图，用于探测太阳风溅射低能中性原子和研究月球表面磁异常的亚千电子伏原子反射分析器，以及用于监测月球环境中高能粒子通量的辐射剂量监测器。ISRO将在实现CIXS和SARA这两个有效载荷方面进行重要的技术参与。印度空间研究组织的科学家和与每个AO有效载荷有关的调查人员之间将进行积极的科学合作。这里描述了基线有效载荷的基本特征; AO有效载荷的描述可以在同伴摘要中找到（见......
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has started a new initiative to launch dedicated scientific satellites earmarked for planetary exploration, astronomical observation and space and atmospheric sciences. The Chandrayaan-1 mission to Moon is the first planetary exploration mission of this new initiative. The primary scientific objective of the Chandrayaan-1 mission, scheduled for launch in late 2007, is to further our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Moon based on high resolution se-lenological and chemical mapping of the Moon. A suite of baseline payloads, identified to meet this scientific objective, include a Terrain Mapping Camera (TMC), a Hyper-Spectral Imager (HySI), a Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer (LEX), a High Energy X-γ ray Spectrometer (HEX) and a Lunar Laser Ranging Instrument (LLRI). These payloads will provide simultaneous mineralogical, chemical and photo-geological mapping of the lunar surface at resolutions better than previous and currently planned lunar missions. They will allow (i) direct estimation of lunar surface concentration of the elements Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti and Fe with high spatial resolution (≤20 km), (ii) High resolution (~100m) UV-VIS-NIR mapping of the lunar surface to identify abundances of various lunar minerals, (iii) High resolution 3D mapping of the lunar surface, and (iv) nature of volatile transport on moon, particularly to colder lunar polar regions. ISRO also offered opportunity to the international scientific community to participate in Chandrayaan-1 mission and several payloads that complement the basic objectives of the Chandrayaan-1 mission have been selected for inclusion in this mission. These are: a miniature imaging radar instrument (Mini-SAR) to explore the polar regions of the moon to look for possible presence of water ice, two infrared spectrometers (SIR-2 and Moon Mineral Mapper: MMM) for extending the range beyond that of the hyper spectral imager, a low-energy X-ray Spectrometer (CIXS) for high resolution chemical mapping, a sub-keV atom reflecting analyzer (SARA) for detection of solar wind sputtered low energy neutral atoms as well as studies of lunar surface magnetic anomalies and a radiation dose monitor (RADOM) for monitoring energetic particle flux in the lunar environment. Three of the payloads, There will be significant technical participation of ISRO in realizing two of the payloads, CIXS and SARA. There will be active scientific collaboration between ISRO scientists and investigators associated with each of the AO payloads. The basic characteristics of the baseline payloads are described here; description of the AO payloads may be found in companion abstracts (see …
