TL;DR: The X-ray Telescope (XRT) of the Hinode mission as mentioned in this paper provides an unprecedented combination of spatial and temporal resolution in solar coronal studies, and the high sensitivity and broad dynamic range of XRT, coupled with the spacecraft's onboard memory capacity and the planned downlink capability, will permit a broad range of solar studies over an extended period of time for targets ranging from quiet Sun to X-flares.

TL;DR: The Moon is a complex differentiated planetary object and much remains to be explored and discovered, especially regarding the origin of the Moon, the history of the Earth-Moon system, and processes that have operated in the inner Solar System over the last 4.5 Ga.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of potential landing sites for the European Space Agency's Lunar Lander project
D. De Rosa,Ben Bussey,Joshua T.S. Cahill,Tobias Lutz,Ian A. Crawford,Terence Hackwill,Stephan van Gasselt,G. Neukum,Lars Witte,A. McGovern,Peter Grindrod,James Carpenter +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the characterisation activities of the landing sites currently envisaged for the European Space Agency's planned LAPL mission, and simulated the illumination conditions at the potential landing sites using three independent tools.
