The dual moon mission is the first of an array of lunar launches planned for 2025. Resilience is based on ispace's Hakuto-R solar-powered lander platform, an octagonal prism that's 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) tall and 8.5 feet (2.6 m) wide and features four landing legs....
The solar-powered Yutu rover comes equipped with cameras, a robotic arm tipped with science sensors and a radar system attached to its underbelly. The stationary lander itself is instrumented to observe Earth, astronomically eye other celestial objects from the moon, as well as watch the Y...
On their first Apollo 16 moonwalk, John Young and Charlie Duke (pictured) made their way to a crater named Plum. Their lunar rover waits in the background. Duke remembers the rover ride as bumpy, but stable. You could say that astronaut Hall-of-Famer Tom Jones had a pretty good career ...

The key to those plans is the Super Heavy-Starship.How does the Super Heavy-Starship work? The Super Heavy booster is powered by 33 Raptor engines burning liquid methane and oxygen to generate more than 16 million pounds of thrust at full throttle, more than twice the liftoff power of NASA...
At an altitude of about 1.4 miles — 60 seconds before Perseverance reached the martian surface — the rover and its rocket-powered descent vehicle (the descent stage with the sky crane) detached from the parachute and backshell. Sixteen seconds out, the rover emerged from the descent stage, ...
