"Landing on the south pole (of the moon) would actually allow India to explore if there is water ice on the moon. And this is very important for cumulative data and science on the geology of the moon," said Carla Filotico, a ...
humans to Moon by 2040; plans Chandrayaan-4 sample return mission of 2-5 kg from lunar South pole to enhance understanding of Earth-Moon System origin; posits that ISRO aims for the stars but “will not forget the farmer or fisherman while exploring the Solar System,” emphasizes space techn...
The south pole of the Moon is located in the rugged, heavily cratered terrain of the southern highlands [1]. Because the lunar spin axis is oriented about 1.5o from a normal to the ecliptic, sunlight is always at low incidence at the poles, creating both a unique environment and some ...
As planned, Chang'e-7 probe will be launched to the south pole of the moon first. Since Chang'e-6 is a backup of Chang'e-5 sample-return mission, it will be launched after Chang'e-7 to bring back samples on the lunar south pole. Chang'e-6 mission will be followed by Chang'e-...
The Moon’s farside South Pole–Aitken (SPA) basin is the largest and oldest visible impact basin in the inner Solar System. Determining the timing of this catastrophic event is key to understanding the onset of the lunar basin-forming epoch, with implications for understanding the impact bombard...
The Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-5 missions successfully landed on the moon's near side, while Chang'e-4 and Chang'e-6 achieved historic touchdowns on the far side. Therefore, Chang'e-7's planned landing at the lunar south pole will test the capability of China's lunar probe to reach any...
Water-ice prospecting is a crucial step in unlocking the Moon's potential for supporting human habitat and furthering exploration. Lunar Temperatures not only dictate water-ice, but also drive other aspects of science and exploration. Global temperatures were mapped through remote sensing, but in-...
L8-U2-P1: A South Pole Expedition 1 1 So in the oasis of intelligentsia that is TED, I stand here before you this evening as an expert in dragging heavy stuff around cold places. 在这个高朋满座的TED,我今晚站在这里,作为一个在寒冷地区拖着重物的专家。
The lunar south pole looks haunting in a new mosaic image that uses photography from two different NASA cameras in orbit around the moon. National Geographic, in coordination with NASA, shared a never-before-seen, high-resolution composite image of the lunar south pole with a detailed companion...
to the Moon a decade ago.The analysed dat a showed that water ice lies low on the ground near the Moon's polar regions that are permanently in shade and so sheltered from the heat of the Sun's rays.Most of the ice was found near the Moon's south pole around a bunch of craters....
