Surface Slope of The moon

Surface Slope of The moon

2024
This project explores lunar surface slope mapping through remote sensing data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. The work focuses on visualizing slope variation across the Moon at 16 m/pixel resolution, using a slope-degree raster map to identify terrain steepness, crater rims, basin margins, high-relief zones, and smoother mare-like regions. The study also reviews the LRO sensor suite, including LROC for high-resolution imaging, LOLA for elevation and topographic mapping, Diviner for thermal analysis, Mini-RF for surface texture and ice-related investigations, and additional instruments for radiation, frost, and hydrogen detection. The final map translates raw lunar terrain information into a clear geospatial product, combining planetary remote sensing, slope analysis, cartographic layout, and scientific visualization for lunar surface interpretation.
