One spacecraft will map the cratered surface from a perilously low 31-mile-high orbit while the other will blast out 350 tons of pulverized rock and soil for chemical analysis, digging a shallow 66-foot-wide crater in a kamikaze crash visible from Earth. The $504 million Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, equipped with seven state-of-the-art cameras and other instruments, will look for suitable landing sites for future manned missions while creating the most detailed lunar atlas ever assembled. One year will be spent scouting future landing sites followed by three years of purely scientific observations. While its cameras will not be able to detect the footprints of the 12 Apollo astronauts who once walked on the moon, they will be able to see the landing stages, rovers and other equipment that were left behind. For further information: Spaceflight Now I realise that this will not of course convince the hoax believers, they will say itīs just more fake photographs. However, I am sure the more intellectual amongst us will be very interested to see new images of the landers on the lunar surface, 40 years after touchdown. |
