The Lunar prediction program (or SUPARCO New Moon prediction programme) is an active scientific mission of the SUPARCO aims to conduct studies and predicts the appearances and phases of the Moon. [1][2] On a regular and monthly basis, SUPARCO provides illustrative predictions for the visibility and the parameters for the sighting of the full ...
Retroreflectors are devices which reflect light back to its source. Six were left at six sites on the Moon by three crews of the Apollo program, two by remote landers of the Lunokhod program, and one by the Chandrayaan program. [1] Lunar reflectors have enabled precise measurement of the Earth–Moon distance since 1969 using lunar laser ranging.
Paksat-MM1R. The Paksat-MM1 is a Pakistani communication satellite, which was launched on 30 May 2024. [1][2] This mission was a joint effort of the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. [3]
The Lunar Instrumentation for Subsurface Thermal Exploration with Rapidity (LISTER), which is designed to measure heat flow from the interior of the Moon. The probe will attempt to drill 2.13–3.05 m (7 ft 0 in – 10 ft 0 in) into the lunar regolith to investigate the Moon's thermal properties at different depths.
Intuitive Machines, Inc. Intuitive Machines, Inc. is an American space exploration company headquartered in Houston, Texas. It was founded in 2013 by Stephen Altemus, Kam Ghaffarian, and Tim Crain, to provide lunar surface access, lunar orbit delivery, and communication from lunar distance. [1] Intuitive Machines holds three NASA contracts ...
The peak of the eclipse was expected to occur at 10:44 p.m. ET, according to NASA. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth’s shadow can turn the moon’s surface a striking red color, which is known ...
DARPA lunar programs. Recognizing the rapid lunar exploration, DARPA envisions a thriving cislunar and lunar economy of scientific research and commercial development over the next decade. [ 1][ 2] It has launched two programs to address the need for shareable, scalable commercial systems essential to a robust lunar economy. [ 3][ 4]
Ranger 9. Ranger 9 was a Lunar probe, launched in 1965 by NASA. It was designed to achieve a lunar impact trajectory and to transmit high-resolution photographs of the lunar surface during the final minutes of flight up to impact. The spacecraft carried six television vidicon cameras—two wide-angle (channel F, cameras A and B) and four narrow ...
