Physics

Scientific paper

Lunar rotation and gravity measurements provide information of the physical state of the lunar interior. Previously only passive LLR (Lunar Laser Ranging) using CCR (corner cube reflectors) has been applied for the detailed study of lunar librations, i.e., rotation variability. As for candidate instruments for SELENE-2 (a lunar landing mission by JAXA) and future lunar missions, we propose VLBI (inverse and differential VLBI) for gravity measurement to constrain tidal Love number, LLR (Lunar Laser Ranging) and ILOM (In-situ Lunar Orientation Measurement) for libration measurements.
