LRA (Laser
Retroreflector Array)
|
September 8, 2025.
Intuitive Machines IM-2 (CLPS TO
PRIME-1) LRA
data are released.
|
The Laser Retroreflector Array is a
small, passive optical instrument designed
to provide a target for precision laser
ranging from a spacecraft in lunar orbit,
enabling geolocation of the lander and its
instrument suite and establishing a fiducial
maker on the lunar surface. Each array
contains eight 1.27-cm-diameter corner cube
retroreflectors mounted on a dome-shaped
aluminum structure. The arrays are 5.0 cm in
diameter at the base, 1.6 cm in height, and
20 g in mass.
