Scientific paper

One European and two Japanese space missions will study the Moon's surface and interior. X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometers will identify elements on the Moon's surface while an alpha-particle spectrometer will analyze alpha particles emitted by radon gas and polonium. A stereoscopic camera will map the Moon's surface. Missile-shaped projectiles, including seismometers and temperature sensors, will impact the surface and reach depths of up to three meters.
