What did nasa claim to have discovered after the lcross satellite crashed on the moon?
Water is the anser
Did NASA bomb the moon?
No, NASA did not bomb the moon. However, in 2009, NASA did crash a probe into the moon to study its composition. This mission was called the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission.
What does LCROSS stand for?
LCROSS stands for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite. It was a NASA mission launched in 2009 to study the permanently shadowed regions of the moon's polar regions by impacting a spacecraft into a crater to expose subsurface materials.
Did they find water onth moon?
Yes. . On 8 October 2009, NASA deliberately crashed an LCROSS satellite and its rocket into the moon, and observed the particulates that the crash ejected from the Moon's surface. In analyzing the spectroscopic properties of the ejected material, NASA was able to confirm that the particulate contained "significant" quantities of water.
How big was the NASA lcross moduel?
The NASA LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) module was approximately 1.85 meters (6.1 feet) tall and weighed about 504 kilograms (1,110 pounds). Its size was relatively small compared to other spacecraft, as it was designed for a specific mission to impact the Moon's surface.
Where will NASA satellite fall?
Scientists predict the 20-old year climate satellite probably fell in the Pacific Ocean through the debris may span over 500 miles. This was the biggest NASA spacecraft to crash uncontrollably back to Earth since 1979. There are unconfirmed reports that satellite debris was found on land.
How did NASA find out that their was water on the moon?
On June 18th of 2009, NASA sent a probe in space called LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation Sensing Satellite) to crash into the south region of the moon near the Cabeus crater. On the 9th of October of that same year, the space craft crashed into its target with dead aim precision. the LRO or Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, another probe sent at the same time as LCROSS took spectrometry data from the cloud of debris that was ejected from the surface of the moon seconds after LCROSS impacted the Earths natural satellite. Spectrometers look at gases and by looking at the rate of absorption of light, scientist can determine was molecules are in the substance being observed, since each molecule has its very own unique spectrum lines (the colors of the rainbow). for example if looking at mercury gas we would see blue green and orange lines of color where as in hydrogen gas we would see violet blue aqua and red. The data from the spectrometers show very clearly that the spectrum for water in present.
What did nasa find in the lcross mission?
NASA scientist are exited about the fact that LCROSS has found proof of water on the moon. When the LCROSS probe slammed into the surface of the moon, the cloud of debris that was ejected from the force of impact was analysed by the lunar reconnaissance orbiter and determined that the crater was "full" of ice. Previously scientist thought that the moon was a very dried place. Water on the moon could possibly be transformed one day by astronauts living on the moon to create fuel for a spacecraft that could fly to Mars.
Which satellite was launched recently by NASA?
NASA recently launched the Landsat 9 satellite, a collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey. This satellite will continue the mission of monitoring changes to the Earth's land and coastal regions.
What is first communication satellite?
The first communication satellite was Echo NASA
Which NASA member invented the Artificial Satellite?
NASA didn't even exist when the Russians put the first artificial satellite (Sputnik) into space
When did NASA launch its first satellite?
NASA launched its first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31, 1958.
