retroreflector aboard JAXA’s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) SLIM lander on the Moon and received a return signal.</p> <p>As <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/lro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LRO</a> passed 44 miles above <a href="https://global.jaxa.jp/projects/sas/slim/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SLIM</a> (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) during two successive orbits on May 24, 2024, it pinged the lander with its laser altimeter instrument as it had done eight times before. But, on these two attempts, the signal bounced back to LRO’s detector.</p> <p>This was an important accomplishment for NASA because the device is not in an optimal position. Retroreflectors are typically secured to the top of landers, giving LRO a 120-degree range of angles to aim toward when sending laser pulses to the approximate location of a retroreflector. However, the SLIM lander had settled on the surface with its top facing sideways, limiting LRO’s range.</p> <p>To boost the chances of reaching their target, the LRO team worked with JAXA to determine the exact location and orientation of SLIM. Then, NASA engineers predicted when LRO’s orbit trajectory would bring it to coordinates that would give it the best chance of reaching SLIM’s retroreflector with the laser beams.</p> <div id="" class="hds-media hds-module wp-block-image"><div class="margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline"><div class="hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto"><figure class="hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover "><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/slim-lander.jpg"><img width="640" height="480" src="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/slim-lander.jpg?w=640" class="attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048" alt="" style="transform: scale(1.2); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;" block_context="nasa-block" decoding="async" srcset="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/slim-lander.jpg 640w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/slim-lander.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/slim-lander.jpg?resize=400,300 400w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/slim-lander.jpg?resize=600,450 600w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></figure><figcaption class="hds-caption padding-y-2"><div class="hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0">SLIM on the lunar surface captured by the LEV-2 (SORA-Q) rover. </div></figcaption></div></div></div> <p>“LRO’s altimeter wasn’t built for this type of application, so the chances of pinpointing a tiny retroreflector on the Moon’s surface are already low,” said <a href="https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sci/bio/xiaoli.sun-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xiaoli Sun</a>, who led the team that built SLIM’s retroreflector at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, as part of a partnership between NASA and JAXA.</p> <p>“For the LRO team to have reached a retroreflector that faces sideways, instead of the sky, shows that these little devices are incredibly resilient,” Sun said.</p> <p>SLIM touched down on the Moon’s surface on Jan. 20. The retroreflector that hitched a ride with the lander, called a Laser Retroreflector Array, is one of the six NASA has sent to the Moon aboard private and public landers, and the second to bounce signal back to LRO’s altimeter.</p> <p>The first time a laser beam was transmitted from LRO to a NASA retroreflector and back was on Dec. 12, 2023, when <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/missions/lro/laser-instrument-on-nasas-lro-successfully-pings-indian-moon-lander/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LRO pinged ISRO’s (Indian Space Research Organisation) Vikram lander</a>. LRO has since exchanged laser pings with Vikram three more times.</p> <p>NASA’s retroreflector has eight quartz corner-cube prisms set into a dome-shaped aluminum frame that is 2 inches wide. With no power or maintenance required, retroreflectors can last on the Moon’s surface for decades and thus provide reliable beacons for future missions.</p> <div id="" class="hds-media hds-module wp-block-image"><div class="margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline"><div class="hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto"><figure class="hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover "><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/lra-on-slim.jpg"><img width="980" height="545" src="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/lra-on-slim.jpg?w=980" class="attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048" alt="Three views are shown in one image in varying levels of detail.
