The NASA Lunar Impact Monitoring Program
Robert M. Suggs,William J. Cooke,Ronnie J. Suggs,Wesley Swift,Nicholas Hollon,Nicholas Hollon +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the impact ejecta environment for use by the designers of the Constellation manned lunar program, which was used by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office to monitor the Moon for meteoroid impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daytime Aspect Camera for Balloon Altitudes
TL;DR: In this paper, a star camera was designed, built, and flight-tested for pointing a pointed balloon-borne experiment at altitude around 40 km. The camera and lens are commercially available, off-the-shelf components, but require a custom-built baffle to reduce stray light, especially near the sunlit limb of the balloon.
Rate and Distribution of Kilogram Lunar Impactors
TL;DR: Suggs, W.R. Swift, and N.P. Hollon Meteoroid Environment Office, EV13, Marshall Space Flight Center, AL 35812 rob.suggs et al. as discussed by the authors
A Probable Taurid Impact on the Moon
TL;DR: In this article, the flash produced by a kilogram-size meteoroid striking the lunar surface was captured by a camera located at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSF) at 23:41:52 UT.
Flux of Kilogram-sized Meteoroids from Lunar Impact Monitoring
Robert M. Suggs,Ron Suggs,William Cooke,Heather McNamara,Anne Diekmann,Danielle E. Moser,Wesley Swift +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a model of the sporadic meteoroid environment to determine the velocity distribution and new measurements of luminous efficiency were made at the Ames Vertical Gun Range.
