proving technology for an eventual human flight to Mars. Under President Trump, the effort was re-targeted for the moon and renamed the Artemis program — the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology — with a goal of landing astronauts at the lunar south pole by...

(a) Setup for the laser melting of EAC-1A with the possibility to apply vacuum. (b) Diagram of the application of vacuum thorough the powder bed. (c) Cross section of one fragment of a laser melted sample (10 kW, 600 s) showing the different material types within the sample. (d) M...
we suspect that the exhibited differences in hydration between the rock and soils are attributed to their different optical properties. Comparison was also conducted on the overall absorption depth of the rock and soil spectra in similar composition from the LMS-EQM lab spectra and Apollo 11 sample...
Therefore, there is a limit to the support force provided by the anchor module. For determining the maximum support force, the mechanical properties associated with the lunar regolith at different depths should be analyzed. According to NASA’s analysis of the returned samples from the Apollo ...

Why was it so important that the descent engine was shut down before the module touched the lunar surface? In this close-up part of the Apollo 11 LM (AS11-50-5864), it is clear that the skirt of the descent engine was very near to the lunar surface; if the descent engine was still...
2,低温推进剂需研制低温姿控发动机,或单独携带姿控常规推进剂,Apollo登月舱上升级单独携带推进剂约占总质量的5%,总质量为6800kg时需要约340kg姿控常规推进剂,, 3,采用低温推进剂需要主动或被动制冷设备,造成质量提升、系统复杂性增大, 4,整个系统的推进剂品种应该尽量简洁,能用2种推进剂可行的方案,尽量不采用3种...

An immediately observable feature in this diagram is that most of the launched particles evolve into orbital parameter regions traditionally demarcated as the Aten and Apollo regimes of the population of near-Earth objects. A similar result has been reported previously22; it supports the suggestion th...
