CE-1 Lunar Microwave Sounder (CELMS) is the first passive microwave radiometer in the world to sound the surface of the Moon in the lunar orbit at altitude of 200 km. The scientific objective of CELMS is to obtain global brightness temperature (T B ) of the Moon, to retrieve information on lunar regolith, and to evaluate the distribution of helium-3 on the Moon implanted by solar wind. Before launch of CELMS, a series of experiments were carried out in laboratories to test the performances of the systems, and to calibrate the responses between the input of T B and the output of voltage from the receivers. However, the thermal condition exposed to CELMS is more complicated in lunar orbit than on the Earth, which makes the temperatures of different parts of CELMS wave vary greatly, and the cosmic background is not very clean due to the pointing of cold space antenna to the direction of the satellite running, which brings uncertainties into data-processing of CELMS when the temperature of cold space is used as a calibrator. Furthermore, the lack of knowledge on the lunar ingredients and compositions, distributions of physical temperatures, and properties on lunar microwave radiation leads to difficulties in validating the measurements and retrievals of CELMS. By analyzing the results of ground experiments and the measurements of CELMS in-orbit, along with our knowledge of the properties of lunar surface, here we give algorithms on calibration and antenna pattern correction (APC) of CELMS. We also describe in detail the principle of microwave transfer among the elements of CELMS, and discuss the method on testing calibration parameters of the system. In addition, the theory and model on correction antenna pattern of CELMS are developed by comparing antenna temperatures by CELMS with those simulated by microwave radiative transfer models. The global distribution of T B is given and the features of T B are analyzed. Our results show rich information included in T B on the properties of lunar regolith, especially the thickness and dielectric constant, which are nearly directly reflected by the differences of T B at day and those at night.
The rapid change of topology is one of the most important factors affecting the performance of the routing protocols of flying ad hoc networks (FANETs). A routing scheme suitable for highly dynamic mobile ad hoc networks is proposed for the rapid change of topology in complex scenarios. In the scheme moving nodes sense changes of the surrounding network topology periodically, and the current mobile scenario is confirmed according to the perceived result. Furthermore, a suitable routing protocol is selected for maintaining network performances at a high level. The concerned performance metrics are packet delivery ratio, network throughput, average end-to-end delay and average jitter. The experiments combine the random waypoint model, the reference point group mobility model and the pursue model to a chain scenario, and simulate the large changes of the network topology. Results show that an appropriate routing scheme can adapt to rapid changes in network topology and effectively improve network performance.
