26 January 2005 ESA's SMART-1 captured its first close-range images of the Moon this January, during a sequence of test lunar observations from an altitude between 1000 and 5000 kilometres above the lunar surface. S@h Berkeley's Staff Friends Club m7 © |

Thanks Sir Ulli. I was wondering when we would be able to see the first images. Here they are. I'm expecting we will see more and more details during the following weeks: if I'm not wrong, I believe I read that Smart will come closer and closer to the moon surface in the following weeks/months. |

The Smart One Exploring the Other Globe by Bernard Foing, Chief Scientist, European Space Agency The European Space Agency's SMART missions - Small Missions for Advanced Research and Technology - are designed to test new spacecraft technology while visiting various places in the solar system. SMART-1 is now at the moon, mapping the surface mineralogy. Future missions can use the technology being tested by SMART-1 to go to Mars, Venus, Mercury, comets, and the sun. In this article, Bernard Foing, Chief Scientist at ESA and Project Scientist for SMART-1, explains what finding water on the moon could mean for future exploration. This is the first in a series of exclusive articles by Bernard Foing for Astrobiology Magazine. Full Story The Smart One Greetings from Germany NRW Ulli S@h Berkeley's Staff Friends Club m7 © |
