title = "SMART-1 after lunar capture: First results and perspectives",
abstract = "SMART-1 is a technology demonstration mission for deep space solar electrical propulsion and technologies for the future. SMART-1 is Europe's first lunar mission and will contribute to developing an international program of lunar exploration. The spacecraft was launched on 27th September 2003, as an auxiliary passenger to GTO on Ariane 5, to reach the Moon after a 15-month cruise, with lunar capture on 15th November 2004, just a week before the International Lunar Conference in Udaipur. SMART-1 carries seven experiments, including three remote sensing instruments used during the mission's nominal six months and one year extension in lunar science orbit. These instruments will contribute to key planetary scientific questions, related to theories of lunar origin and evolution, the global and local crustal composition, the search for cold traps at the lunar poles and the mapping of potential lunar resources.",

note = "Funding Information: Seven instruments are operating in all mission phases (cruise/lunar), performing 10 distinct science and technology investigations (table 1). Science instruments, led by Principal Investigators (PIs) were mostly funded from PIs and co-Is national sources. Technology experiments, led by technology investigators (TIs) were partly funded by ESA. Three instruments are used for spacecraft and planetary environment studies: Electric Propulsion Diagnostic Package (EPDP), Spacecraft Potential, Electron and Dust Experiment (SPEDE) and Radio Science Investigation with SMART-1 (RSIS). Lunar exosphere studies are planned for EPDP and SPEDE. Three instruments are used for lunar remote sensing: the global X-ray mapping spectrometer (D-CIXS) with X-ray Solar Monitor (XSM), near-infrared mapping spectrometer (SIR), and the localised high spatial resolution Copyright: Copyright 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.",
