NASA tech to use moonlight to enhance measurements from space
NASA will soon launch a one-of-a-kind instrument, called Arcstone, to improve the quality of data from Earth-viewing sensors in orbit. In this technology demonstration, the mission will measure sunlight reflected from the moon— a technique called lunar calibration. Such measurements of lunar spectral reflectance can ultimately be used to set a high-accuracy, universal standard for use across the international scientific community and commercial …

NASA evaluates landing on Mars in 2026 NASA is preparing to launch Arcstone, an innovative space instrument that will use the light reflected by the Moon to calibrate Earth observation sensors.Know what this pioneering technology is, which seeks to establish a new international standard in the accuracy of satellite measurements. NASA's Arcstone mission, which will be launched in late June aboard a small CubeSat, will mark a milestone as the firs…
