2024年11月5日 · LOLA Provides a precise global lunar topographic model and geodetic grid that serves as the foundation of essential lunar understanding. The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) aids future missions by providing topographical data for safe landings and enhance exploration-driven mobility on the Moon.

2008年5月16日 · Project LOLA or Lunar Orbit and Landing Approach was a simulator built at Langley to study problems related to landing on the lunar surface. It was a complex project that cost nearly $2 million dollars.

2024年10月23日 · As LRO orbits the Moon, the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument measures the shape of the lunar surface, which includes information about the Moon's surface elevations and slopes.

NASA’s Solar System Interactive (also known as the Orrery) is a live look at the solar system, its planets, moons, comets, and asteroids, as well as the real-time locations of dozens of NASA missions.

The NASA logo dates from 1959, when the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) transformed into an agency that advanced both astronautics and aeronautics —the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

4 天之前 · NASA Science seeks to discover the secrets of the universe, search for life elsewhere, and protect and improve life on Earth and in space. Our mission milestones showcase the breadth and depth of NASA science. Lunar Trailblazer launched February 26, 2025 and will orbit Earth’s Moon to detect and map water on the surface.

3 天之前 · Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and float next to Helene, small, icy moon of Saturn. Appropriately named, Helene is a Trojan moon, so called because it orbits at a Lagrange point.

AIA and HMI data are once again available at the JSOC. Congratulations to the HMI team for getting the JSOC rebuilt, running, and serving data! The Sun Now. Pick of the Week. On Mar. 6, 2019, SDO observed a long lunar transit - with a twist. The shadow of the Moon in SDO's i. …
