  Ben Bussey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bussey is specialized in the remote sensing of the surfaces of planets.
He participated in the Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous-Shoemaker (NEAR) mission as a research scholar at Northwestern University, and co-authored an atlas of the Moon based on data and images from the Clementine mission.
The Clementine Atlas of the Moon, Ben Bussey and Paul D. Spudis, 2004, ISBN 0-521-81528-2.

 Sunny spot picked out for future lunar base - space - 13 April 2005 - New Scientist
Planetary scientists led by Ben Bussey at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, US, located a section along the rim of a 73-km-wide crater called Peary, near the Moon's north pole, that appears to be constantly illuminated.
Bussey cautions that there is still a chance the region experiences some periods of shade.
Bussey says rovers could be deployed from a future base there to explore nearby craters, which are permanently in shadow and appear to contain water ice.

 Peary (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the opposite side of the pole, on the far side of the moon, lies the still-larger Rozhdestvenskiy crater.
In 2004, a team led by Dr. Ben Bussey of Johns Hopkins University using images taken by the Clementine mission determined that four mountainous regions on the rim of Peary crater appeared to remain illuminated for the entire Lunar day.
These unnamed "mountains of eternal light" are possible due to the Moon's extremely small axial tilt, which also gives rise to permanent shadow at the bottoms of many polar craters.

 NASA finds good spot, with plenty of sunlight, for lunar outpost
Ben Bussey of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and colleagues compiled an illumination map of the polar region using images from the Clementine spacecraft, which orbited the moon in 1994.
So an area near the poles that is at high enough elevation may even catch sunlight during the winter, when it is tilted away from the sun.
The rim of Peary crater is such a highland area, Bussey said, roughly a mile higher than the crater floor.

 PSRD: Moon's Dark, Icy Poles
Ben Bussey (Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab) and colleagues (at APL, University of Hawaii, Northwestern University, and Q & D Programming) studied simple craters with diameters less than 20 km and used results from their simulations to predict the minimum amount of permanent shadow in the north and south polar regions.
The study by Bussey and colleagues has shown that permanently shadowed regions on the Moon are more numerous and distributed over a wider area than we thought.
Bussey's discovery of large amounts of permanently shadowed areas has implications for scientific understanding of the amount, nature, and transport of volatiles, and for future human settlement of the Moon.

 Astronomy - Eternal light at a lunar pole - Robert Burnham
A team led by Ben Bussey (Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory) mosaicked 53 images of the lunar north pole taken in February – March 1994, during the spacecraft's first month of operations.
Bussey's team also identified regions lying within the small craters Peary B and Peary W that experience permanent shadow.
Bussey notes that the overall region around the lunar north pole consists of highlands terrain with many depressions that contain constantly shadowed ground.

A team led by Dr Ben Bussey of Johns Hopkins University in the US looked at images of the Moon's poles taken by the 1994 Clementine lunar spacecraft.
Speaking at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, Texas, Ben Bussey warned the continuous illumination could be a seasonal effect that disappears in winter (for which there is no data).
Trapped water-ice in permanently shadowed areas at the lunar poles is consistent with data from the Clementine and Lunar Prospector missions and radar measurements made with the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico.

 The Telegraph - Calcutta : KnowHOW
Poring over images from a 10-year-old lunar mission, they have located an area near the moon?s north pole that is fully illuminated, at least in summer.
Dr Ben J. Bussey of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and colleagues compiled an illumination map of the polar region using images from the Clementine spacecraft, which orbited the moon in 1994.
Several fully sunlit spots were found along the north rim of Peary crater, an impact crater near the pole that is about 45 miles in diameter.

 'Perfect Spot' Identified for Moon Base in Crater
The best spot to settle on the Moon may be on the northern rim of Peary crater, close to the north pole, says Ben Bussey of Johns Hopkins University.
The analysis, to be published in the April 14 issue of the journal Nature, is based on 53 images from the spacecraft Clementine, which orbited the Moon for 71 days in 1994.
Bussey said water ice might be found to be equally distributed at both poles, or it may exist only in select craters.

 Geotimes - June 2005 - Peaks of eternal light on the moon
Astronomer Ben Bussey of the Planetary Exploration Group at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., and colleagues used 53 images to produce the first illumination map of the lunar north pole.
The images were taken between February and May of 1994 by highly sensitive digital cameras aboard the Clementine spacecraft, jointly funded by NASA and the Department of Defense.
The map revealed several small spots on the northern rim of Peary Crater, which lies very close to the lunar north pole, that experience 100 percent illumination during the northern hemisphere summer.

Any ice that accumulated in sunless pits on the Moon billions of years ago would still be frozen there, having never sublimed and floated free of the tenuous gravity, explain Ben Bussey, of the University of Hawaii, and his colleagues.
Bussey's group suggests that there could be closer to a billion tonnes of water on the Moon.
Bussey's team has calculated the area of crater floor that stays in shadow as the lunar seasons change.

 Expedition to return for U.S. space-age relic
Having nearly constant light means the bases could use solar energy, reducing or eliminating the need for other energy sources, according to the team lead by D. Ben J. Bussey of the European Space Agency in Noordwijk, Netherlands.
Engineers say it is easier to deal with a constant extreme temperature than one that is changing regularly, as would happen elsewhere on the moon with the regular changes from daylight to darkness.
In addition to Bussey the research team included Paul D. Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas, and Mark S. Robinson of Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.

There are several science questions that can be addressed by the ability to conduct on-the-spot analyses of ice deposits in the lunar poles, said Ben Bussey, a lunar expert at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md.
Bussey said that geochemical analyses of ice deposits will provide information on the composition of the impacting bodies.
Analysis of isotopic ratios of that material should indicate approximately where in the solar system the impactor originated, he said.

The space community is still not sure whether or not water ice exists at the Moon's poles, but there shouldn't be any problem with astronauts using it in situ, according to Space.com.
For his 6 March article, Senior Space Writer Leonard David interviewed lunar experts Ben Bussey of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Apollo 17 Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt and Larry Taylor of the University of Tennessee's Planetary Geosciences Institute.
All three say there is unconfirmed data showing only a possibility water ice may exist in permanently shadowed craters.

Today, in the journal Nature, scientists announce the best place to build a base after analysing 53 images of the lunar north pole.
A Briton, Dr Ben Bussey, and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins University applied physics laboratory near Baltimore, have found areas on the northern rim of Peary crater - one of three large craters in the region - that are likely to bask in permanent sunlight.
The estimated minus 50C temperature contrasts with those in equatorial regions which fluctuate from 100C to minus 180C, putting much greater strains on machinery.

In the interim, space lawyers are at the ready to voice legal opinions on tapping into any water ice found.
There is "intriguing evidence" that, potentially, water ice on the Moon exists in fairly significant amounts, said Ben Bussey, a lunar expert at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland.
Yet there is controversy about that interpretation, Bussey noted, adding that Earth-based radar of that area, some argue, reflect more a signal of rocks and not ice.

 Experts poles apart over Moon landing sites - space - 06 February 2006 - New Scientist
But no one definitively knows whether that hydrogen is in the form of water ice.
But even without the increased levels of hydrogen, the increased sunlight provides a compelling argument for going to the poles, says Ben Bussey, at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory, US.
He reported in 2005 (Nature, vol 434, p 842) that data from the 1994 Clementine mission showed that several spots high on the rims of craters near the North Pole were constantly illuminated throughout an entire lunar day — about 29 Earth days — in the summer.

Though meteorites fall to Earth randomly, Antarctica is by far the best place to search for them, said Ben Bussey, who in December scouted new meteorite hunting fields with the meteorite project's lead scientist, Ralph Harvey.
And finally, in certain spots of Antarctica there is no other terrestrial debris with which to confuse an extraterrestrial rock.
Most of the group's searching was on blue ice that has not been near any Earth rock, Bussey said.
