Lunar PI
Exploring the MoonThe inaugural Student PI Program focuses on the Mini-RF instrument. Mini-RF, which stands for Miniature Radio Frequency, is a radar instrument orbiting the moon on NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. It is mapping the lunar poles, searching for water ice and demonstrating new communications technologies. What it finds will support future missions to the Moon. Student PI participants make authentic contributions to this effort.
For the Mini-RF Student PI program, students (under mentor guidance) join the science team in analyzing real Mini-RF data, using the same software and techniques the mission scientists use. Students develop hypothesis and projects based on data analysis, later presenting their work for peer and science team review. http://studentpi.jhuapl.edu/
