ITALIAN VISION FOR MOON EXPLORATION OBSERVATION
OF THE UNIVERSE FROM THE MOON
2
ASI-INAF contract
To study possible High Energy Astrophysics,
Cosmology and Fundamental Physics scenarios
related to possible science from the Moon To
study the Solar System scenario To correlate the
identified scenarios with other scientific and
technological activities on going on the Earth
and in the space To identify the scientific
objectives and translate them into scientific
requirements giving priorities to the identified
projects in order to maximise the scientific
results.

X-ray and gamma-ray studies
Analysis of the astronomical studies that could
benefit from the Moon context Study of the sky
areas observable with transit instruments Comparis
on between Moon based instrumentation and LEO/HEO
instrumentation for astrophysical observation,
with particular regards to Recent X-ray and
gamma-ray detectors Future perspectives in X-ray
and gamma-ray detectors Analysis of the focusing
mirrors for X-ray up to 30 keV on the Moon
surface Analysis of instrumentation based on
code masks Analysis of a possible
multi-wavelength observatory Coordination of the
scientific studies with the industrial
ones Identification of the best sites to carry on
the identified projects
