A new interactive mosaic from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter covers the north pole of the moon from 60 to 90 degrees north latitude at a resolution of 6-1/2 feet (2 meters) per pixel. Close-ups of Thales crater (right side) zoom in to reveal increasing levels of detail.Image Credit: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University Scientists, using […] Using a precision formation-flying technique, the twin GRAIL spacecraft mapped the Moon’s gravity field, as depicted in this artist’s rendering. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Scientists, using data from the lunar-orbiting twins of NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, are gaining new insight into how the face of the Moon received its rugged […] 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 […] A poster made for the GRAIL mission. 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. […] 
This image depicting the porosity of the lunar highland crust was derived using bulk density data from NASA’s GRAIL mission and independent grain density measurements from NASA’s Apollo moon mission samples, as well as orbital remote-sensing data. Image credit: SA/JPL-Caltech/ IPGP For well over a year now, two washer-machine sized twin […] |
