Slide 1 — The Moon as a Witness Plate

The Moon as a fossil world: with no atmosphere or plate tectonics, it preserves a 4‑billion‑year solar system record erased on Earth by erosion and activity.

2

Slide 2 — Evidence From Apollo

Apollo core samples show the solar wind’s chemistry shifted about 2 billion years ago, revealing a changing solar environment.

3

Slide 3 — Connection to Earth

Studying lunar impacts helps understand Earth’s major events, including mass extinctions like the K-T event that ended the dinosaurs.

4

Slide 4 — Mapping the Moon (LOLA & LRO)

Current maps are imperfect: near side errors up to 1 km, far side several km. Precision matters for missions.

5

Slide 5 — The LOLA Instrument

The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) on LRO bounces 28 laser pulses per second, achieving high‑precision 3‑D maps.

6

Slide 6 — How It Works

LOLA’s 0.6‑ns timing creates accurate surface elevations, enabling vertical accuracy approaching 1 meter for safe navigation.

7

Slide 7 — The Goal

Produce maps as accurate as USGS hiking maps to support astronaut safety and mission planning.

8

Slide 8 — Dust Hazards: Moon vs. Mars

Moon dust: abrasive, mechanical damage; Mars dust: chemical toxins and toxicity risks.

9

Slide 9 — Dust Characteristics

Moon dust: sharp, glassy fragments; lunar hay fever symptoms. Mars dust: asbestos-like particles with harmful chemicals.

10

Slide 10 — Key Terms & Projects

Dust initiatives: Project Dust develops coatings to repel dust. Regolith is the dusty surface layer; Clementine provided earlier maps.
