LROC Theory of Operation
•
LROC consists of one Wide Angle Camera (WAC) and two Narrow Angle
Cameras (NAC). All camera heads deliver data to the spacecraft through the
Sequence and Compressor System (SCS).
•
The WAC subsystem consists of dual optics (UV and visible), providing multispectral images with 100m/pixel visible resolution and 400m/pixel UV
resolution.
•
Each NAC subsystem consists of a 2.86 ° FOV telescope, co-aligned to
provide a total 5.67° FOV, acquiring high resolution monochrome images
•
The SCS includes electronics for commanding and receiving data from all
cameras, as well as power and data (SpaceWire) interfaces with the
spacecraft.

LROC Heritage
•
WAC heritage –
– Electronics – exact copy of those used on MRO MARCI, other missions
– Optics – same concept, minor changes to FOV, filter bandpasses
– Mechanical – same mounting interface to spacecraft
•
NAC heritage –
– Electronics – copy of those used on MRO CTX, single part substitution for
NAC A/D, system clocked at higher speed.
– Optics – new design, same focal plane mounting interface,
– Mechanical – same concept for spacecraft mounting flexures
•
SCS heritage
– New electrical design, implements MRO-heritage spacecraft interfaces with
WAC, NAC, provides SpaceWire interface to LRO spacecraft.
– New mechanical design, same concept as electronics boxes for NAC, WAC

LROC Constraints on LRO
Title
Requirement
Rationale
Traceability
Sun
Avoidance
No continuous sun pointing within 30
degrees of the NACs and a minimum
slew rate of 1.0 deg/sec in the
instrument bore-sight.
Need to keep focal plane temp below survival limits during sunviewing.
Derived by analysis
SpaceWire
S/C shall be able to drain the NAC
buffer in less than 160 seconds.
S/C shall accept WAC packets every
0.54s.
LROC NAC buffer to SCS design takes 160 seconds, S/C must keep
up to prevent loss of data (no flow control in SCS implementation).
LROC WAC images acquired every 0.54s with no storage
mechanism except for 2 image-sized buffers in the SCS. Failure to
accept WAC packets on that schedule will lead to irrevocable loss of
science data.
Targeting flexibility for
NAC images – no NAC
images can be acquired
while draining NAC
buffer (RLEP-LROM40, M80)
SpaceWire
Flow
Control
LROC shall write 8 bit data to the
Transmit FIFO at a clock rate for the
SpaceWire STROBE signal of 40MHz
without invocation of Transmit FIFO
flow control.
Latency nearly zero – when a packet is delivered to the SBC, we will
expect a command telling us the SBC is ready for more. We can
and do wait for that signal, but failure to present us with an empty
buffer means we’ll leave science data on the floor as we are
acquiring as much as our downlink budget will allow. Timing
diagram in Data ICD will show latency in normal use case
(RLEP-LRO-M40, M80)
Pointing
Accuracy
+/- 2.5 milli-radian
0.14°, approximately 5% of a NAC FOV. Acquisition of contiguous
cross-track imaging to build up areal coverage of each landing site
with no gores requires pointing control to be equal to or better than
planned sequence overlap to insure mosaic integrity.
(RLEP-LRO-M40, M80)
Pointing
Knowledge
+/- 0.75 milli-radian
Reconstruct geometry of WAC observations to within 1 pixel. As
pointing knowledge degrades geometric integrity of uncontrolled
mosaics increases. Real time support of future surface operations
will demand highest possible cartographic accuracy for both LROC
and LOLA.

LROC Constraints on LRO
Title
Rationale
Traceability
NAC1 +1.42° cross-track from Nadir.
NAC2 -1.42° cross-track from Nadir.
Required crosstrack coverage means relative NAC alignment
must be accurate to 50 NAC pixels. S/C will verify orientation of
alignment cube(s).
(RLEP-LRO-M40,
M90)
Jitter
(blur)
Less than 5 micro-radian total (peak-to-peak)
jitter in 0.3 milliseconds
To meet resolution requirements camera/spacecraft jitter must
not blur IFOV >0.5 pixel.
(RLEP-LRO-M40,
M80)
Stability
(geometric)
Less than 10 micro-radian total (peak to peak)
stability in 30 milliseconds
Geometric reconstruction for landing site maps, polar maps, and
stereo analysis (remove long wavelength cross-track wobble).
(RLEP-LRO-M40,
M80)
Timing
Time of rising edge of Spacewire tickout signal
to be accurately reported by corresponding time
message to +/- 100 milliseconds of UTC.
Required to minimize overall orbital knowledge errors, which
affects ability to successfully target NAC at sites of interest.
Derived
Dark Signal
Check
Require occasional (TBD) noon-midnight
nighttime images on farside for dark signal
check once a month. Data can be collected in
less than one minute, but all camera electronics
must be at typical operating temperatures camera remains on throughout orbit.

mineralogic interpretation for resource assessment

basis. Calibration star catalog for LROC needs
to be derived.

LROC Constraints on LRO
Title
Requirement
Rationale
Traceability
Require 15° to 20° off-point down-track or crosstrack for stereo imaging three times a day.
Stereo image of same ground spot under similar
lighting conditions. Issue with LOLA’s coverage
spec regarding time off-nadir (less than 3% of total
time). Working issue. Thermally OK for 20° offpoint for 20 minutes total.
Stereogrammetric and
photometric stereo data set
generation (RLEP-LROM40)
Mosaicking
Off-nadir pointing to get contiguous coverage over
wider ground swath three times a day. Off-pointing
requests would range from 2° to 20°.
Allow acquisition of contiguous NAC swaths to cover
entire landing site error ellipses and region of
surface operations.
Landing Site safety (RLEPLRO-M80)
Data Link
LROC shall receive all commanding and distribute
all telemetry over the SpaceWire high speed bus.
Simplify spacecraft to instrument interface at GSFC

Science requirements for
high resolution, high
temporal resolution, etc.

Data Rate
LROC shall write 8 bit data to the Transmit FIFO at
a clock rate for the SpaceWire STROBE signal of
40MHz without invocation of Transmit FIFO flow
control.
Required to deliver NAC data from SCS to use up
downlink allocation, maximize science return, avoid
data loss (heritage design does not use flow
control).
