Directed Illumination of Sunlight Collimated and Observed Beneath A Lunar Lander (DISCOBaLL): Structured Illumination for a Lunar Surface Photogrammetry System
A lighting system has been developed to provide structured illumination allowing photogrammetry to be performed during and after landing on extraterrestrial bodies. The system, known as Directed Illumination of Sunlight Collimated and Observed Beneath a Lunar Lander (DISCOBaLL), provides patterned lighting suitable for two- and multiple-camera photogrammetry, allowing several different measurements to be obtained including pre-landing terrain shape, visualization and localization of the ejecta sheet during landing, and post-landing terrain shape enabling quantitative measurement of plume-induced cratering. The paper explains the methodology of designing the DISCOBaLL, describes multiple prototypes, and shows the performance of these prototypes using actual solar radiation in a laboratory setting.
