Navigation systems suitable for lunar surface exploration to chart future expeditions. Kamilla Cziráki, a geophysics student from the Faculty of Science at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), is pioneering a novel approach to study navigation systems suitable for lunar surface expeditions. In collabor
Scientists have developed a new method for lunar navigation, utilizing the Fibonacci spiral to calculate the optimal parameters for a GPS-like system on the Moon. The innovative approach helps modernize lunar vehicle navigation, offering more accurate mapping based on the Moon’s unique ellipsoidal shape, which is characterized by distinctive semi-major and semi-minor axes.
Why is the shape of the ellipsoid that best fits the Moon interesting, and what parameters can be used to describe it? Why is it interesting that, compared to the Moon’s mean radius of 1737 kilometers, its poles are about half a kilometer closer to its center of mass than its equator? If we want to apply the software solutions tried and tested in the GPS system to the Moon, we need to specify two numbers, the semi-major and the semi-minor axis of this ellipsoid so that the programs can be...
Interestingly, the approximation of the Moon’s shape with a rotating ellipsoid has never been done before. Kamilla Cziráki, a second-year geosciences student specializing in geophysics, worked with her supervisor, Gábor Timár, head of the Department of Geophysics and Space Sciences, to calculate the parameters of the rotating ellipsoid that best fit the theoretical shape of the Moon.
