摘要

Lunar permanently shaded regions (PSRs) are unique solar-system environments. Their low temperatures ( < 100 K) facilitate cold trapping of volatile materials over timescales comparable to the lifetime of the solar system. While much has been learned about these regions from orbital spacecraft, important missing information includes the spatial and depth-dependent distribution of bulk hydrogen concentrations in and around PSRs. We present two complementary mission scenarios where orbital neutron spectroscopy will provide significantly improved understanding of lunar polar bulk hydrogen concentrations. In the first mission concept, a six-month orbital mission will measure bulk hydrogen concentrations with sensitivity better than 50 ppm and a spatial resolution of order 20 km over the entire lunar South Polar region (poleward of 80 S). Spatial reconstruction analyses of the returned data will improve the final spatial resolution to better than 10 km. The presence and burial depth ( <25 cm) of subsurface deposits will be quantified with latitude-dependent sensitivities ranging from 50 to 350 ppm. The second concept envisions a few, very low altitude (similar to 5 km) flyovers of one or more PSRs to quantify the hydrogen concentrations and spatial heterogeneities with a hydrogen sensitivity less than 200 and spatial scale size of 5 km. Both concepts can be combined in a single mission where full-coverage polar measurements are made with a hydrogen spatial resolution of 20 km, and higher spatial resolution measurements are made for a few strategically selected PSRs at the end of the mission.
