BMDO became better known in the public eye in 1994 when it launched a space probe, Clementine, to the Moon, in collaboration with NASA. BMDO was primarily interested in field testing new satellite and space reconnaissance technologies incorporated in Clementine, technologies which enabled Clementine to discover pockets of ice at the Moon's ...
English: In 1994, during its flight, the Clementine spacecraft returned images of the moon. In addition to the geologic mapping cameras, the Clementine spacecraft also carried two Star Tracker cameras for navigation.
Clementine image of Aristarchus and surroundings mapped onto simulated topography. NASA photo. Spectra taken of this crater during the Clementine mission were used to perform mineral mapping. [2] The data indicated that the central peak is a type of rock called anorthosite, which is a slow-cooling form of igneous rock composed of plagioclase ...
A 1994 [42] bistatic radar experiment performed during the Clementine mission suggested the presence of water ice around the south pole. [43] [44] The Lunar Prospector spacecraft reported in 2008 enhanced hydrogen abundances at the south pole and even more at the north pole. [45]
