CE-2 Lunar Microwave Sounder (CELMS) is the second passive microwave radiometer in the world to sound the surface of the Moon on the orbit of 100 km. The scientific objective of CELMS is to further obtain global brightness temperature (TB) of the Moon, to retrieve information on lunar regolith, and to evaluate the distribution of helium-3 on the Moon. Before launch of CELMS, calibration experiments...
China has launched a microwave radiometer (MWS) to the Moon orbit to detect regolith information of the lunar surface. It is the first time that humankind directly applies sensed brightness temperature to investigate the lunar surface information by passive microwave sensor on lunar orbit. Therefore, it is necessary to set up theoretical models to describe lunar surface microwave transfer process,...
It was the first time that China launched a microwave radiometer to orbit the Moon in order to measure soil information of the lunar surface. In this paper, we will investigate a microwave radiative transfer model for simulating and retrieving lunar regolith depths. We solve numerically the integral equation of the lunar soil by dividing the soil into many layers, and at each layer, emission, multi-reflection,...
