Lunar Radar Control

The soil, or even the subsoil, of the Moon can be studied… without leaving the Earth! This is indeed what ONERA’s Nostradamus radar can do, if its electromagnetic sight is pointed towards the Moon rather than towards the horizon.

On clear moonless nights, far from towns, the sky is full of star constellations. However, the light from these stars provides virtually no illumination on Earth. Thus, the scientists at Onera set about gaining a better understanding of nightglow", a weak natural illumination in the near infrared range of visible light, emanating from the sky. "
