An American spacecraft was launched to the moon today from Cape Caperaral in Florida, on their way to searching for water that scientists believe in the southern pole. What the craft finds can have great repercussions for NASA’s plans to send astronauts to this part of the moon in the coming years.
Moon’s mission failure: Why is it difficult to withdraw lunar landing?
One of the missions is a commercial land. It aims to adhere to the closest to the southern pole of the moon more than any previous task, as NASA tools, including robot exercises for ice hunting. Another spacecraft, the NASA lunar trailblazer is orbit with the aim of producing the highest accuracy on the moon.
Lunar water can provide a supplier to explore the expanded moon, such as providing raw ingredients for missile fuel in the moon bases. Scientists have known since 2009 that such water exists, but they want to learn more about its whereabouts and how much it exists. Parvareth Brem, the world of planets at the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, says Maryland, who does not belong to any of the task.
Lander is expected to fall on March 6. This is the second attempt by the intuitive machines, a company based in Houston, Texas, which fell the first satellite spacecraft to landing last year.
Lunar Trailblazer will take a timely path and reach the moon for several months. If things go well, it will enter its final orbit for science planning in August.
Searching for water
Many space agencies and scientists are keen to learn more about water in the lunar poles, which carries a geological record of the early history of the solar system. The Indian Chandrayaan-2 currently revolves around the moon and includes its own data about the location of the water, as is the case in the Korean investigation that carries the NASA tool for the counterpart to ice-rich pits.
The new Lander is heading for the intuitive machines, called ATHENA, to the Moons Mouton of the moon. Researchers believe that there is water in the lunar soil there, and possibly binding in minerals or pores in the soil.

Athens will search for water in several ways, including the use of NASA ice mining training. If athena succeeds, in the operators directing TRIDENT to penetrate the lunar soil, dig up to one meter to pull the soil and leave it in a striking pile on the surface. The bloc on board the plane will analyze a pile of water marks or other volatile materials that may escape from the gases. This ability to drill and analyze at the same time provides “important data on how lunar soil is behaved,” says Jackie Queen, director of the excavation project at the Kennedy Space Center in NASA on Merit Island, Florida.
