Is it possible to project an image on the moon

In the video Jez, James and the rest of the production team talk about how they brainstormed for the making of the advert in an 'The Office' style mockumentary. Some of the comedy lines include 'The moon - it's big, it's ballsy," and 'the world is no longer their oyster - the moon is too'. In another scene one employee of the company, based in Tower Bridge, London, jokes with a deadpan serious face: 'All we needed was for the moon to turn up.

The video shows the team planning and executing their plan to project a logo onto the lunar surface. Mr Vellacott said the idea behind the 'Mooncheeze' advert was to make their clients laugh at the end of the year. He said: 'We didn't tell NASA it was a spoof because we needed to research it properly like we would do all our campaigns and we thought if we told them it was a fake they wouldn't help us out.

This concept of advertising on the moon generally includes the use of laser technology to project advertisements onto the lunar surface. In theory, the ads could be viewed from the Earth and would add another level of media advertising to the current strategies employed. The exacts of moonvertising vary somewhat, depending on the source.

While it seems that laser technology is always employed in the scenario of allowing companies to have their ads and logos projected onto the moon, there is some difference in exactly how the technology will accomplish this.

In some instances, the laser technology is simply projecting ads on the moon, essentially using the lunar surface as a backdrop for the logo or advertisement. In the more distance future, it may allow communication at higher data rates than present radio links can provide. The LRO spacecraft was the prime choice to test out the novel communication method because the spacecraft was already equipped with a laser receiver.

The team divided the famous da Vinci painting into sections measuring by pixels and then transmitted them via the pulsing of the laser to the orbiter at a data rate of about bits per second.

Once the lunar orbiter received the image, it reconstructed the photo, corrected for distortions created as the laser signal zipped through Earth's atmosphere, and then sent the image back to Earth using its normal form of communication: radio waves. The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer is slated to launch toward the moon later this year and will focus on mapping the lunar atmosphere and environment.
