Kaguya Moon Mission Data Repository: New Query Language Interface for Locating GIS Objects

摘要

The observation data gathered by a luanr probe "Kaguya", is now being officially published by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) through the web site. However, this web site does not have the lunar location and name based search function, thus we can not retrieve the data by location name or by feature type. Therefore, we developed the lunar featureame based Kaguya data search system. In addition, this system can be used by the simple keyword input, making use of Kaguya data. However, at present, only a geometric image product "TCOrtho_MAP" is available among the 88 Kaguya products. We plan to store, adopt all remaining products in a similar way, but the importing operation is not completely automated yet. Also it is hard to say that this system is highly optimized for dealing with Kaguya data. Because the base of this system is another support system called the Moon Seeker, it is for a lunar feature searching. Since finish of the Kaguya mission, some processed data, such as 3D map, are still generated by Kaguya's observation data. Hence we hope to continue the enrichment of this system for further promotion of these demands for Kaguya data.
