Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Even though the twin spacecraft Ebb and Flow, part of the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory mission, crashed into the Moon’s surface December 17, 2012, scientists continue to pour over the massive amounts of […] In this image, both of the impact sites of the mirror-image GRAIL spacecraft can be seen. The final resting spots of these two spacecraft were imaged by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Image Credit: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has found the impacts made by its cousin(s), the Gravity Recovery and […] NASA has selected the United Launch Alliance Delta II to send its ICESat-2 spacecraft into polar orbit.

Image Credit: JPL After launching aboard a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on September 10, 2011, at 9:08 a.m., and orbiting the Moon for almost a year, the two GRAIL spacecraft, which came to be named Ebb and Flow, have ended their […]
The GRAIL expedition to explore and map the Moon’s gravity field is scheduled to end today with the intentional impact of twin spacecraft, Ebb and Flolw, into the lunar surface. NASA TV plans to begin live coverage of the mission’s end at 5:00 p.m. ET The spacecraft are scheduled to impact the surface […] An artist’s concept of the twin GRAIL spacecraft, Ebb and Flow, in action around the Moon. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MIT NASA’s GRAIL mission to map the gravity field of the Moon has enjoyed success beyond any expectations, but all good things must come to an end. […] |
