Mission Name: SMART 1The SMART-1 telemetry system will be used to conduct radio science investigations, including a study of the rotational state of the Moon and the lunar libration. Careful spacecraft tracking and measurements of the Doppler shift in the X- and Ka-bands, in coordination with the AMIE camera and the star tracker will provide high-resolution data on the position and rotation of the Moon. The system will also be used to monitor the performance of the spacecraft solar electric propulsion system.
