NASA, launched two research satellites

NASA, on Thursday, launched two research satellites in outer space to the first step to restore the long journey to the man on the moon in 2020.

Two LRO and LCROSS mission launched by the Atlas V rocket from close to the Kennedy, Florida, in the historic mission of research in order to find the source of the water and landing places for the earth satellite.

Bad weather, such as AFP diwartakan delay the launch for 20 minutes, before officials from the outer body of the U.S. gave green light for the launch of the mission.

U.S. outer body, which hopes to send astronauts to the natural Earth satellite in 2020 at the latest for the first visit since 1972, announced the agency is on the path to launch LRO and LCROSS mission using the Atlas V rocket from close to the Kennedy, Florida.

Suspend a day after the launch of back-plane alik Endeavor for the second time in one weekend due to leakage of hydrogen fuel, NASA says that institutions set up three windows at 17:12 local time (Friday, 04:00 WIB), at 17:22 local time (Friday , 04.22 WIB) and at 17:32 local time (Friday, 04:32 WIB).

Mission is the first step in a long journey in order to make further exploration of the solar system to the planet mars, and more.


Pengindera Observation satellites and moon crater (LCROSS) will be a special effort most spectacular NASA for many years.

To search for water ice on the Moon - the most important component of the plan for the placement of the human colonies in the Moon - the investigation will analyze the data from the months after the rocket centaur, a separate, fall in the permanently dark craters, the dark moon that is never exposed to radiotherapy sun.

After examining objects Month, satellite researchers kamikaze missile will follow the steps that impose themselves on the Moon with an average speed of 2.5 kilometers per second.

In all, NASA said, the second mission that will dig up as much as 500 tons of hours and the meter starts to search for possible signs of water sources that have been frozen and the old order mineral never witnessed in the world.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, is expected to advance the basic knowledge of outer space through the existence of the effort for one year in orbit about 50 kilometers - the distance near the outer planes each have ongoing mengorbit in the month.

LRO mission of 500 million U.S. dollars is designed to give NASA about the accuracy of the map that never happened before, that will be important in the map may be the place for the landing.

Second mission, said May, will help NASA make shade example lighting and temperature days, and give people in the future months to the description of the cosmic radiation that makes terpajan months due to a lack of atmosphere.

LRO and the LCROSS mission, said May, promises to teach long-distance cruiser "the process that formed the earth system, moon and the sun."

NASA hopes the investigation will answer all questions in full on the fundamental history of the universe.

Hope for the ambitious exploration of the moon and mars is made later on Wednesday in the muddy by Senator Bill Nelson, who warned that the mission could result dicampakkan funds "not reasonable" allocated for NASA.

Nelson, a former astronauts back-plane outer alik, said at the first open meeting of the Planning Review Committee to the U.S. full flight that "NASA can not afford to perform a task that has been given to him" to return to the days.
