NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer Moon Mission Ends The small satellite was to map lunar water, but operators lost contact with the spacecraft the day after launch and were unable to recover the mission. NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer ended its mission to the Moon on July 31. Despite extensive efforts, mission operators were unable to establish two-way communications after losing contact with the spacecraft […] The post NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer Moon Mission Ends first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

NASA Tech to Use Moonlight to Enhance Measurements from Space NASA will soon launch a one-of-a-kind instrument, called Arcstone, to improve the quality of data from Earth-viewing sensors in orbit. In this technology demonstration, the mission will measure sunlight reflected from the Moon— a technique called lunar calibration. Such measurements of lunar spectral reflectance can ultimately be used to set a high-accuracy, universal standard for […] The post NASA Tech to Use Moonlight to Enhance Measurements from Space first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

Can Solar Wind Make Water on Moon? NASA Experiment Shows Maybe  Scientists have hypothesized since the 1960s that the Sun is a source of ingredients that form water on the Moon. When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind smashes into the lunar surface, the idea goes, it triggers a chemical reaction that could make water molecules.    Now, in the most realistic lab […] The post Can Solar Wind Make Water on Moon?
