SELENE (Selenological and Engineering Explorer) is a Japan's lunar probe which was launched and injected into the lunar polar orbit in 2007. The Main Orbiter of SELENE named Kaguya has separated the Relay Satellite: Rstar (Okina). We have executed four-way Doppler measurements which determined the orbit of Kaguya aviating above the lunar far side. The ground station up-links ranging signals, and the...
The Japanese lunar mission, SELENE (Kaguya) consists of a main satellite and two small satellites, Rstar and Vstar. In same-beam VLBI observations of Rstar and Vstar, phase fluctuations caused by atmosphere, ionosphere and instruments were reduced to a low level of 1-2 deg, and the differential phase delay between Rstar and Vstar was obtained with a very low error of 2 pico-seconds. We corrected the...
