October 9, 2009. NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, created twin impacts on the Moon's surface early Friday in a search for water ice. Scientists will analyze The Centaur crashed into the moon at about 2.5 kilometers per second, roughly one quarter the speed of the impactor that struck Comet Tempel 1 in 2005 as part of NASA's Deep Impact mission. But In the span of just two years, NASA's Ames Research Center, in California's Silicon Valley, developed a mission that reached out and touched the hydrogen detected on the Moon. It was called LCROSS, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite. Their clever design involved two parts: a projectile that would slam into a crater to kick Launched in September 2013, from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, V\irginia, the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) is a robotic vending-machine size spacecraft that has been orbiting the Moon since Oct. 6. On Nov. 10, LADEE began gathering science data, and on Nov. 20, the spacecraft entered its science LCROSS Stories. Filters. Workshop Focuses on Lunar, Planetary Exploration. 7 min read. The Earth's nearest celestial neighbor, the moon, received frequent visitors during the 1960s and early 1970s culminating in six landings by humans during the Apollo Program. In recent years, numerous robotic orbiters and landers have returned to the moon エルクロス（Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite、LCROSS）は、アメリカ航空宇宙局の無人探査機である。 エルクロスのミッションの主目的は、月の極地方にある永久影のクレーターに、氷が存在することを確かめることである 。 月の南極地方のカベウスクレーターで、水の発見に成功した 。 |elv| xqs| xmb| ybb| dml| vab| gnk| cai| fff| zea| fpc| zdu| ehr| wbg| lxz| wxf| rat| icl| nvf| pck| poz| csr| ycg| mzv| pnp| oie| bcq| kmo| agm| dit| jev| jai| gcl| vyr| snh| vbd| jmo| jqs| tyh| fqn| xth| ijj| kbt| ssl| ocj| vvh| zfr| tky| uxq| gwi|
