Once it is launched from Earth and reaches space, its mission is to

accurately navigate to the moon, soft land on it, and begin roving.

How do space rovers get to space?

Space rovers are typically launched into space on rockets along with other spacecraft or payloads. They are placed in the rocket's payload fairing and sent into orbit around Earth. Once in orbit, the rocket's upper stage engine is used to perform a burn that transfers the rover from Earth's orbit to its destination, such as the Moon or Mars.

Was every landing on the moon was successful?

There are stories that the Soviets tried Moon landings that were unsuccessful. One U.S. moon mission, Apollo 13, was supposed to land on the moon but failed to do so due to a major mechanical defect. It did, however, orbit the moon once. There were no fatalities attributed to U.S. space missions in which astronauts did in fact land on the moon, however.

What is wrong with calling a rock that strikes the moon a meteorite?

Because a "meteorite" is a rock that passed through the Earth's atmosphere, was heated to incandescence by pressure and friction, and then struck the Earth. A space rock that hits the Moon didn't land on the Earth. However, this is a pretty minor distinction, and some space scientists use the term "meteorite" for any rock that falls from space, whether to the Earth, the Moon or Mars. NASA has occasionally used the term "meteorite" for rocks found by the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.


How are rovers launched?

Rovers are launched into space using powerful rockets that carry them into orbit and then toward their destination, typically a planet or moon. The rover is housed within a protective payload fairing during the initial ascent. Once in space, the rocket stages separate, and the rover is deployed using a carefully timed sequence, often involving additional propulsion systems to guide it to its landing site. After reaching the target, the rover descends and lands using parachutes, retrorockets, or other landing technologies.


Can you take a space shuttle in to space more than once?

Yes, space shuttles were designed to be reusable for multiple missions. They were launched into space, landed back on Earth, and then refurbished for another mission. However, the space shuttle program has been retired, and new vehicles like SpaceX's Crew Dragon are now used for space missions.


How many times have you visited the moon in all Who were they Not just the US?

Eight space missions orbited the moon, carrying 24 astronauts. All were men from the USA who traveled to the moon as part of NASA's Apollo program during the period from 1968 to 1972. Six missions landed on the moon, and their 12 astronauts walked on its surface. No man walked on the moon more than once. And nobody except the 24 astronauts on the eight Apollo missions has ever been farther into space than "low earth orbit".
