Target entity: Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter
Context triple: [Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, instrument, Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter]
  • A. Mercury Laser Altimeter
    The Mercury Laser Altimeter is a scientific instrument designed to map Mercury’s surface topography with high precision by measuring the time it takes laser pulses to return from the planet’s surface.
  • B. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Mini-RF instrument
    The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Mini-RF instrument is a synthetic aperture radar payload designed to map the Moon’s surface and search for water ice, particularly in permanently shadowed polar regions.
  • C. Laser Ranging Instrument
    The Laser Ranging Instrument is a scientific device used to measure precise distances—such as between a spacecraft and a celestial body—by timing the travel of laser pulses.
  • D. Lunar Prospector
    Lunar Prospector was a NASA lunar orbiter mission that mapped the Moon’s surface composition and gravity field and provided strong evidence for the presence of water ice at the lunar poles.
  • E. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
    Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is a NASA robotic spacecraft launched in 2009 to map the Moon’s surface in high detail and search for resources such as water ice.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
