Scientific paper

Lunar orbiter Kaguya (SELENE) has been successfully launched from Tanegashima Space Center TNSC on September 14, 2007. Nominal observation for ten lunar days has already passed and fourteen science instruments are acquiring new data of global Moon to study lunar science in mineralogy, geology, gravimetry, topography, and plasma environment. Multi-band imager and Spectral profiler definitely analyze mineralogy of central peaks of central peaked craters. High resolution images of Terrain Camera show new crater distribution of cratered terrain of farside, Detailed topography and gravitational distribution in farside and polar area are observed by laser altimetry and four way Doppler tracking of main orbiter flying in farside.
