GRNS_1: Data processing pipeline for Lunar ISRU instrument (CLUNGAS/GRiNS)

We are planning to send a Gamma-ray and Neutron Spectrometer (GRNS) to the Moon. 

To prepare this mission, a data processing pipeline is needed. 

The objective of the project are:  

  • revise the data processing tasks for the different levels 

  • identify uncertainties on lower levels 

  • design a framework for historical mission data analysis 

We are building instrumentation for mapping of the lunar surface for elemental abundance (finding water on the moon). To utilize the data that we hope to receive from our instrument in lunar orbit, we need to develop a data processing pipeline, a data analysis framework that handles data on different levels, filters out faulty data packages and calibrates the raw data. Measurement data from lab experiments is available, but generation of synthetic test data on different processing levels will be required, as well. The data pipeline shall be tested on existing datasets from previous gamma-ray and neutron spectrometers, such as LP.  

This project can be either 30 or 60 credits.
