    [1] [8] [9] GRAIL A separated from the rocket about nine minutes after launch, GRAIL B followed about eight minutes later. They arrived at their orbits around the Moon 25 hours apart. [10] [11] The first probe entered orbit on 31 December 2011 and the second followed on 1 January 2012. [12] The two spacecraft impacted the Lunar surface on ...

    GRAIL MoonKAM (Moon Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students) was part of NASA’s GRAIL satellite mission to map the Moon’s gravity. [1] The twin GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) satellites orbited the Moon from December 2011 to December 2012. The data they sent back deepened our understanding of the Moon’s gravity and ...

    In 2019, a reanalysis of nearly 50 years of data collected from the Lunar Laser Ranging experiment with lunar gravity field data from the GRAIL mission, shows that for a relaxed lunar fluid core with non-hydrostatic lithospheres, the core flattening is determined as (2.2 ± 0.6) × 10 −4 with the radii of its core-mantle boundary as 381 ± 12 km.
