Meet the brave robots designed to jump into the darkest depth of the moon, giving the scenery that has never been seen before.
Easy to use machines in Houson are preparing to launch. Second mission To the moon, which is part of the NASA's Payload Payload Payload Payload Services project, the company's Lunar Lander's Lunar Lander will be lifted up on the Spacex Falcon 9 rocket. During the four -day launch window, which will be opened on February 26, with the science of Na. Testified the demonstration of technology and cargo. The Lander named Athena aims to Mons Mouton, which is a lunar plateau, near Moon South Poland. Micro-nova robot named Grace That will jump into the nearby volcanic crater and jump back.
The robot is named according to Grace Hopper, a math and computer scientist who supports access to access. Similarly, or quite a symbol of the elegance of the robot is designed to ensure the darkest access of the moon that can be accessible to the world.
Which is different from human mathematicians But Grace is a murmuring that is designed to jump over the surface of Micro-Nova Hopper. It will hop five times, each of which has different heights with the use of Thrusters in Grace. Drive yourself over the surface of the moon with each jump until 330 feet (100 meters) in the third jump. After that, the robot that hit the back will jump into the permanent volcanic chimney.
Grace is aiming at the H Mountain Higger, which is about 65 feet (20 meters) and approximately 1,650 feet (500 meters) from ATHEA (500 meters). report– While it is there, Grace will search for water and other resources in the crater, including using a camera that no one is compared to take some pictures. The robot was set up to maintain the communication with Athena using the Nokia's surface communication system, one of the Lander's commercial Payloads that aims to create the first 4G/LTE network on the moon.
The jump was designed to take about 45 minutes on the floor of the volcanic chimney before jumping back to the surface. “The idea is that if you have a deep volcanic crater and you want to go into the crater, why not do with murmuring?” Martin said in Space.com that
Grace is the first technology demonstration of children because there is no robot jumping to explore the moon before. Even for entertainment Rustorcraft that can be reliable, which explores Mars Aside from perseverance, do that by using a short -term flight above the surface of the red planet. China has also launched a similar hopper to the moon with the Change 7 mission, which is scheduled to be released in 2026.
Machinery that is easy to use is not a stranger to the moon that The company launched the first Lander.The name Odysseus in February 2024 Odysseus can experience the moon's surface. But its landing is not smooth One of the legs of Lander may be caught during the descendants. Ended by sleeping on the top of the stone– If you have not caught both territory, get the name from the legend of the Greek god. Athena is the sacred patron of Odysseus. Down the moon to send a curious jumping robot.
