Why the Armstrong crater is named after Neil Armstrong?
There are many craters named after the early Apollo astronauts as well as some Soviet (Russian) cosmonauts and early rocket pioneers. As the first man to walk on the moon, Armstrong definitely deserves a lunar crater named after him.
Chandrayan - its promises and concerns?
I don't know what you exactly mean when you say promises, but I can give you the goals of the Chandrayaan-1 mission.The main objective was to design, develop, launch and orbit a spacecraft around the Moon using an Indian-made launch vehicle.The results expected from the orbiter with the instruments on-board are:Preparation of a three-dimensional atlas (with high spatial and altitude resolution) of the entire surface and sub-surface of the MoonChemical and mineralogical mapping of the entire lunar surface at high spatial resolution, mapping particularly the chemical elements Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Calcium, Iron, Titanium, Radon, Uranium, & Thorium.The impact of a sub-satellite (Moon Impact Probe - MIP) on the surface on the Moon as a fore-runner to future soft-landing missions.Some other scientific areas of study for the orbiter are:High-resolution mineralogical and chemical imaging of the permanently shadowed north and south polar regions.Search for surface or sub-surface water-ice on the Moon, especially at the lunar poles.Identification of chemicals in lunar highland rocks.Chemical stratigraphy of lunar crust by remote sensing of the central uplands of large lunar craters, and of the South Pole Aitken Region (SPAR), where interior material may be expected.To map the height variation of the lunar surface features.Observation of X-ray spectrum greater than 10 keV and stereographic coverage of most of the Moon's surface with 5 m resolutionTo provide new insights in understanding the Moon's origin and evolution.
What are the promises and concerns of Chandrayaan-1?
I don't know what you exactly mean when you say promises, but I can give you the goals of the Chandrayaan-1 mission. The main objective was to design, develop, launch and orbit a spacecraft around the Moon using an Indian-made launch vehicle. The results expected from the orbiter with the instruments on-board are: * Preparation of a three-dimensional atlas (with high spatial and altitude resolution) of the entire surface and sub-surface of the Moon * Chemical and mineralogical mapping of the entire lunar surface at high spatial resolution, mapping particularly the chemical elements Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Calcium, Iron, Titanium, Radon, Uranium, & Thorium. * The impact of a sub-satellite (Moon Impact Probe — MIP) on the surface on the Moon as a fore-runner to future soft-landing missions. Some other scientific areas of study for the orbiter are: * High-resolution mineralogical and chemical imaging of the permanently shadowed north and south polar regions. * Search for surface or sub-surface water-ice on the Moon, especially at the lunar poles. * Identification of chemicals in lunar highland rocks. * Chemical stratigraphy of lunar crust by remote sensing of the central uplands of large lunar craters, and of the South Pole Aitken Region (SPAR), where interior material may be expected. * To map the height variation of the lunar surface features. * Observation of X-ray spectrum greater than 10 keV and stereographic coverage of most of the Moon's surface with 5 m resolution * To provide new insights in understanding the Moon's origin and evolution.
What do you call an astronaut's watch?
A Lunar Tick
What is the duration of Lunar Jim?
The duration of Lunar Jim is 1320.0 seconds.
The lunar highlands have more impact craters than the maria so scientists know that the highlands are what?
the lunar highlands are younger then the lunar maria
How do impact craters effect lunar highlands and maria?
They Can If They Want To, but it depends on if they are SUPER religious
What is the result of lunar craters?
it is a result of an asteroid impact
Which of these lunar features is the youngest?
Which of these lunar features is the oldest? 1. maria basins 2. lunar highlands 3. rayed craters like Copernicus 4. lunar soil
What are the oldest lunar features called?
Which of these lunar features is the oldest? 1. maria basins 2. lunar highlands 3. rayed craters like Copernicus 4. lunar soil
What shapes are most lunar craters?
Most lunar craters are circular. It takes a very unusual shallow (or grazing) impact to make a crater that is not circular.
Are most lunar craters that are formed by erosion caused by glaciers?
Most lunar craters are impact craters caused by incoming meteors and asteroids. Since our moon has no atmosphere there can be no glaciers or erosion.
What are the 3 phases in which the moon evolved. List in order from youngest to oldest?
Origin Crust Maria Basing Rayed Craters
What is lunar craters?
It's a crater on the surface of the Moon, probably the result of an asteroid impact.
What are lunar rays are the same age as?
The ray systems correspond to the craters produced at the same time. Some ray systems on the Moon are from older craters that have since been overlaid by subsequent impacts in the same area.
What shapes are most craters?
Most lunar craters are circular. It takes a very unusual shallow (or grazing) impact to make a crater that is not circular.
Lunar rays are apparently the same age as lunar craters?
craters... :)
