Scientific paper

SELENE(Selenological and Engineering Explorer) mission is planned in 2005 for lunar science and technology development. The mission will consist of a main orbiting satellite at about 100 km altitude in the polar circular orbit and two subsatellites in the elliptical orbits with apolune at 2,400 km and 800 km. The orbiter will carry instruments for scientific investigation including mapping of lunar topography and surface composition, measurement of the magnetic fields, and observation of lunar and solar-terrestrial plasma environment. The primary objective of the SELENE mission is to study the origin and evolution of the Moon by global mapping from the polar orbit at 100 km altitude.
