Bachelor students present their work at a conference
05.05.2023M. Gmöhling and S. Köhl present work done as part of their bachelors thesis at the 4th International Planetary Caves Conference 2023 in Lanzarote, Spain
The poster titled "Non-invasive identification of lunar rocks with optical and LiDAR systems" focussses on using compact and non-invasive systems for spectral rock identification with emphasis on H2O detection. In order to identify the samples they use two different approaches, one with laser scanners and the other with optical cameras. Both methods utilize multiple devices at different wavelengths. For testing these approaches, they select four lunar rock types and use three terrestrial sam- ples of basalt, ilmenite, dunite and anorthosite. In addition, they probe the behavior of these stones with a thin layer of H2O ice on the surface.
