Scientific paper

The SMART-1 mission arrived in lunar science orbit in March 2005. We'll present results obtained during the nominal science phase of the mission, using the AMIE camera for geology context, SIR infrared spectrometer for mineralogy distrbution and the D-CIXs X-ray spectrometer for elemental mapping. SMART-1 contributes to the themes of geophysics(volcanism, cratering, tectonics) and geochemistry constraints on Moon formation and evolution. It is also used for monitoring illumination, mapping resources, and preparation of future international lunar missions. We'll describe also the planning for the mission extension from October 2005 to August 2006, and the involvement of the science community.
