NASA's Lunar Trailblazer is officially in Florida and combined with Spacex Falcon 9 to wait for space launch at the end of this month.
Petite satellites are set to debut faster than February 26 from the Kennedy Space Center with the highest objective of entering the orbits of the moon and evaluating the full amount of water on our stone stars. The water molecules are on the surface of the moon. But the water will disappear in space The question is still open. Or how to add water on the moon's surface. Lunar Trailblazer can give an answer.
NASA's jet laboratory explains the complex battles, which will make the invaders in the position to reach Onar Orbit to launch. Published This week
Lunar Trailblazer will be separated from the rocket for about 48 minutes after launching the launch and heading to the moon for two years.
Trailblazer installed with two tools. One is a high resolution and mineral mineral or HVM.3And the other is the MAPER MAPPER (LTM) Infrared Multispectral Imager. -Make things in its meteorite hole Ice– LTM will also mineral maps But also has the heat properties of the surface of the moon
“LTM tools, the temperature of the moon's surface is precisely, while HVM3 Looking for the signing tools of the water molecules, “Neil Bowles, LTM scientists at Oxford University, said in JPL previously. release– “Both tools will help us understand how the surface temperature affects our knowledge about the existence and distribution of these molecules on the moon.”
The spacecraft weighs only 440 pounds (200 kilograms) and at 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) when the solar panel is fully used.
Andy Klesh engineer, Trailblazer project, JPL said, “We really punch our weight.”
It will use a spacecraft between four to seven months to go to the moon depending on the launch date. Regardless of that day, the mission will take advantage of gravity to the moon.
After launching the mission, it will be resolved in the amendment and the Central Program Amendment before Flybys will be determined for March 3 and 8 May. The team planned to intervene in the Orbit on July 7.
“The first increase in which the rocket will send a spacecraft through the moon and into the deep space and its way will be naturally modified by gravity after many lunar flybys and around the world. This will help it to be caught into the orbit of the moon with the least demand. “Gregory Lan, the design and navigation of the mission that JPL said in the same launch. “It is the most economical way to go to where we have to go.”
The final orbit of the spacecraft is approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers). Above the moon's surface, Trailblazer will orbit the moon 12 times a day. day
In the end, Lunar Trailblazer's information will help scientists understand the surface of the moon better and prepare NASA. The upcoming art missionWhich aims to return humanity to the moon's surface for the first time since the Apollo mission
