Next Step For ESA's First Moon LanderParis, France (ESA) Sep 17, 2010 Mission description: land autonomously with pinpoint precision near the Moon's south pole, a region full of dangerous boulders and high ridges. The aim of ESA's proposed precursor is to probe the moonscape's unknowns and test new technology to prepare for future human landings. The first mission to visit the south polar region of the Moon took a significant step forward when a further study contract was signed with EADS-Astrium in Berlin, Germany. The mission aims to land in the mountainous ... read more |

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Aug 31, 2010A new geologic map of the moon's Schrodinger basin paints an instant, camouflage-colored portrait of what a mash-up the moon's surface is after eons of violent events. The geologic record at Schrodinger is still relatively fresh because the basin is only about 3.8 billion years old; this makes it the moon's second-youngest large basin (it's roughly 320 kilometers, or 200 miles, in diameter). ... more

LRO Reveals Incredible Shrinking MoonWashington DC (SPX) Aug 20, 2010 Newly discovered cliffs in the lunar crust indicate the moon shrank globally in the geologically recent past and might still be shrinking today, according to a team analyzing new images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft. The results provide important clues to the moon's recent geologic and tectonic evolution. The moon formed in a chaotic environment of intense bombardment by asteroids and meteors. These collisions, along with the decay of radioactive elements, made the moon ... read more |
