The Lunar I-Hab [3] (formerly known as International Habitation Module, International Habitat or I-HAB) is designed as a habitat module of the Lunar Gateway station, to be built by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA.
A trans-lunar injection (TLI) is a propulsive maneuver, which is used to send a spacecraft to the Moon. Typical lunar transfer trajectories approximate Hohmann transfers , although low-energy transfers have also been used in some cases, as with the Hiten probe. [ 1 ]
Most lunar low orbits below 100 km (60 mi) are unstable. [2]Lunar Module Eagle in lunar orbit during Apollo 11, July 1969. Gravitational anomalies slightly distorting the orbits of some Lunar Orbiters led to the discovery of mass concentrations (dubbed mascons) beneath the lunar surface caused by large impacting bodies at some remote time in the past.
In January 2004, China's lunar orbiter project was formally established. [18] The first Chinese lunar orbiter, Chang'e 1, was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center on 24 October 2007 [19] and entered lunar orbit on 5 November. [20] The spacecraft operated until 1 March 2009, when it was intentionally crashed into the surface of the Moon ...
The first technology created by this office, an active thermal switch, will fly onboard Lunar Outpost's Lunar Voyage One mission in 2025. Lunar Outpost Oceania is located in Melbourne, Australia and was established in 2022. This office focuses on mobility platforms and rovers for robotic exploration and payload services on planetary bodies.
The Luna programme was the first successful lunar programme, its Luna 1 (1959) being the first partially successful lunar mission The first image taken of the far side of the Moon, returned by Luna 3 (1959) Missions to the Moon have been numerous and include some of the earliest space missions, conducting exploration of the Moon since 1959.
Luna 26 (Luna-Resurs-Orbiter [3] or Luna-Resurs O [4]) is a planned lunar polar orbiter, part of the Luna-Glob program, by Roscosmos.In addition to its scientific role, the Luna 26 orbiter would also function as a telecomm relay between Earth and Russian landed assets. [1]
Zvezda moonbase (Russian: звезда, "star"), also called DLB Lunar Base, was a Soviet plan and project from 1962 to 1974 [1] to construct a crewed moonbase as successor to the N1-L3 human lunar expedition program. Zvezda moonbase was canceled with the rest of the Soviet human lunar programs.
