NASA and ESA scientists to bring next generation camera for future Moon missions

[ad_1] New technologies and innovations have helped scientists to take the space missions to the next level. We have received various mesmerizing images of space till now with amazing high-definition cameras. Now, the NASA astronauts are prepping up to take the next generation camera to the Moon to capture the detailed images of the Lunar surface. European astronauts and scientists have come together with NASA's Artemis imagery team to complete this crucial task.Next generation camera for moonNASA and ESA has been working together to build an amazing next-generation camera to capture the lunar surface. The new camera for moon is constructed with the usage of professional off-the-shelf cameras. These cameras are known for their excellent light sensitivity and state-of-the-art lenses. In ...

Almost half of Moon missions fail. Why is space still so hard?

[ad_1] In 2019, India attempted to land a spacecraft on the Moon – and ended up painting a kilometres-long streak of debris on its barren surface. Now the Indian Space Research Organisation has returned in triumph, with the Chandrayaan-3 lander successfully touching down near the south pole of Earth's rocky neighbour.India's success came just days after a spectacular Russian failure, when the Luna 25 mission tried to land nearby and “ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the lunar surface”. These twin missions remind us that, close to 60 years after the first successful “soft landing” on the Moon, spaceflight is still difficult and dangerous. Moon missions in particular are still a coin flip, and we have seen several high-profile failures in recent years. Why were these missio...

5 Big Moon missions that are set to take off in 2023; NASA to ISRO, space race is on!

[ad_1] From NASA to ISRO, these are the 5 big Moon missions you can look forward to in 2023. From observing the farthest galaxy from Earth (GN-z11) to shifting the orbit of an asteroid by striking it with a spacecraft, scientists reached many new milestones in 2022. But it appears that the Moon will be the center of all attention in 2023. Many space agencies are looking at our sole natural satellite as a destination to visit and explore. While the Moon race between the USA and Russia ended decades ago, we still remember when Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the lunar surface. Now, a new space race is building up. And from NASA to Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) are all participating. Read on to know about the 5 big Moon missions setting up in 2023.NASA Lunar Flashli...
