==Instruments== ===AMIE=== The Advanced Moon micro-Imager Experiment was a miniature colour camera for lunar imaging. The CCD camera with three filters of 750, 900 and 950 nm was able to take images with an average pixel resolution of 80 m (about 260 ft). The camera weighed 2.1 kg (about 4.5 lb) and had a power consumption of 9 watts.<ref>{{cite journal | title= Science objectives and first results from the SMART-1/AMIE multicolour micro-camera|display-authors= 4|author= Josset J.

It detected the [[X-ray fluorescence]] (XRF) of crystal compounds created through the interaction of the electron shell with the solar wind particles to measure the abundance of the three main components: [[magnesium]], [[silicon]] and [[aluminium]]. The detection of [[iron]], [[calcium]] and [[titanium]] depended on the solar activity. The detection range for X-rays was 0.5 to 10 keV. The spectrometer and XSM (described below) together weighed 5.2 kg and had a power consumption of 18 watts. ===XSM=== The X-ray solar monitor studied the [[solar variation|solar variability]] to complement D-CIXS measurements. ===SIR=== The Smart-1 Infrared Spectrometer was an [[Infrared spectroscopy|infrared spectrometer]] for the identification of mineral spectra of [[olivine]] and [[pyroxene]]. It detected wavelengths from 0.93 to 2.4 μm with 256 channels. The package weighed 2.3 kg and had a power consumption of 4.1 watts.<ref>{{cite journal| title= Scientific objectives and selection of targets for the SMART-1 Infrared Spectrometer (SIR)|display-authors= 4|author= Basilevsky A.

The experiment weighed 0.8 kg and had a power consumption of 1.8 watts. Its function was to measure the properties and density of the plasma around the spacecraft, either as a Langmuir probe or as an electric field probe. SPEDE observed the emission of the spacecraft's ion engine and the "wake" the Moon leaves to the [[solar wind]]. Unlike most other instruments that have to be shut down to prevent damage, SPEDE could keep measuring inside radiation belts and in solar storms, such as the [[Halloween solar storms, 2003|Halloween 2003 solar storms]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sci.esa.int/smart-1/31415-instruments/ |website=sci.esa.int |title=ESA Science & Technology - Instruments}}</ref><ref name="Schmidt2014">{{cite journal | bibcode = 2014EGUGA..1613174S | title=SMART-1 SPEDE: Results and Legacy after 10 Years | volume=16 | year=2014 |author1=Schmidt, Walter |author2=Mälkki, Anssi | journal=EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts | pages=13174 }}</ref> It was built by [[Finnish Meteorological Institute]] and its name was intentionally chosen so that its acronym is the same as the nickname of [[Spede Pasanen]], a famous Finnish movie actor, movie producer, and inventor. The algorithms developed for SPEDE were later used in the [[ESA]] lander [[Philae_(spacecraft)|Philae]].<ref name="Schmidt2014" /> ===KATE=== [[Ka band|K<sub>a</sub> band]] TT&C (telemetry, tracking and control) Experiment. The experiment weighed 6.2 kg and had a power consumption of 26 watts. The Ka-band transponder was designed as precursor for [[BepiColombo]] to perform radio science investigations and to monitor the dynamical performance of the electric propulsion system.
