Context triple: [Selenological and Engineering Explorer, carriedInstrument, Lunar Radar Sounder]
  • A. Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter
    The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter is a laser-based mapping instrument that precisely measures the Moon’s surface topography and shape from lunar orbit.
  • B. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Mini-RF instrument
    The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Mini-RF instrument is a synthetic aperture radar payload designed to map the Moon’s surface and search for water ice, particularly in permanently shadowed polar regions.
  • C. Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment
    The Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment was a geophysical investigation deployed during Apollo 17 to study the Moon’s shallow subsurface structure by recording seismic waves from controlled explosive charges.
  • D. Mini-SAR (Chandrayaan-1)
    Mini-SAR (Chandrayaan-1) is a NASA-provided synthetic aperture radar instrument flown on India’s Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter to map the Moon’s polar regions and search for water ice deposits.
  • E. Lunar Prospector
    Lunar Prospector was a NASA lunar orbiter mission that mapped the Moon’s surface composition and gravity field and provided strong evidence for the presence of water ice at the lunar poles.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
