Arcstone > Arcstone
Description:
Arcstone is a mission concept that provides a solution to this challenge. An orbiting spectrometer flying on a small satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) will provide lunar spectral reflectance with accuracy sufficient to establish an SI-traceable absolute lunar calibration standard for past, current, and future Earth viewing sensors and constellation systems.
