About
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Astrotech facility in Titusville, Fla., technicians perform backlight inspection and cleaning on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO. Black light inspection uses UVA fluorescence to detect possible particulate microcontamination, minute cracks or fluid leaks. The orbiter will carry seven instruments to provide scientists with detailed maps of the lunar surface and enhance our understanding of the moon's topography, lighting conditions, mineralogical composition and natural resources. Information gleaned from LRO will be used to select safe landing sites, determine locations for future lunar outposts and help mitigate radiation dangers to astronauts. The — NASA KSC · 2009.
