ESA plans its first moon landerParis (UPI) Apr 1, 2010 The European Space Agency says it is seeking industry proposals for a lander to be used in an exploration mission to the moon's south polar region. ESA scientists said that lunar area's possible deposits of water ice, heavily cratered terrain and long periods of sunlight make it an extremely interesting target for astronauts' moon missions. The space agency says the lander will need the latest navigation technology to fly a precise course from lunar orbit to the surface and touch down sa ... read more |

The subtle gravitational tugs they measured suggest the interior has been too cold and sluggish to split completely into separate layers of ice and rock. The finding, to be published in the March 12 issue of the journal ... more
