Lunar Exploration: Case Study of Lunar Exploration Using a Cubesat

The Moon has been one of the most fascinating concepts since the dawn of mankind. From the time of the first settlements at Gobeklitepe, mankind has looked upon the starry night and has first seen the Moon which is the only natural satellite of Earth. It has always been fascinating as it has been a point of interest from philosophers, to clergy, to science fiction writers, to scientists. Looking at the moon and discerning its movements have also inspired scientists like Newton, Kepler, and Galileo to come up with laws of physics and gravitation to explain the movement of objects in orbit around the sun. Even now, the moon is an important stepping stone for mankind as it is the doorway of humanity into space and the Project Gateway as well as the Artemis Project represent the future aspirations of mankind.
This book discusses the concept of low-cost lunar exploration with a Case Study of Using a Cubesat for Lunar Mapping of Resources such as Helium 3. This is a recommended reading for aerospace engineering students as well as young engineers who wish to have an understanding of lunar exploration through low cost methods like a cubesat.
