RJHall comments:

  • I'd like to see more in-depth coverage of the spacecraft instruments, especially LAMP and LEND. Are the instruments any better than on Clementine (spacecraft)? Please give some details.
  • Please include some information about the propulsion and maneuvering system, the avionics and a few details about the orbital inclination and period. How much propellant is it carrying?
  • Is this vehicle solar powered? It appears so but the text doesn't say. Does it have batteries?
  • What is the communication system?
  • Is NASA actively compensating for MASCONs? I.e. periodic orbital adjustments?
  • How does this mission complement the other current missions to the Moon?

Thanks.—RJH (talk) 19:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
