Scientific paper

A system study of lunar exploration by polar orbiter is presented and a polar orbiter mission using a remote sensing technique is proposed. The objectives of this mission are to make a complete global survey of the Moon's physical and chemical properties and also develop the technical side of deep space exploration. The global survey of the Moon's surface is very important as the next step in lunar exploration not only from the viewpoint of lunar science but lunar resources as well. This lunar exploration mission will be conducted by a single polar orbiter of 650 kg, launched by the H-IA vehicle, using remote sensing techniques. The chemical and physical mapping of the entire lunar surface by gamma ray spectrometer, fluorescent X-ray spectrometer, reflectance spectrometer, spectrostereo imager and so forth, is expected to provide much information on these subjects.
