SCOOPING THE SOVIETS
In 1966, British astronomers tracked a Soviet spacecraft on its way to the Moon. They "stole" the signals containing information that would be put together to create the first image of another planetary body, the Moon. The Institute's Dr. ...

Politics of the Moon and Beyond
THE SPACE GROWING BETWEEN US
When I look up at the moon recently, I am unable to shake a somewhat sinking feeling about our current methodologies in national governance and international affairs. Nations are not a large enough focal-point from which to deal with today’s most pressing issues. If we do not consider politics, economics and the physical environment from a strictly global perspective, we cannot properly address ...

WHO NEEDS RADIOS WHEN YOU HAVE LASERS?!
Besides learning about the Lunar atmosphere, LADEE’s goals also included experiments to demonstrate new spacecraft communication techniques. Currently, most spacecrafts use the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to communicate with the Earth. However, radio is not very ideal to ...

DARK SIDE OF ... THE EARTH ?!
Here is a link to a video I made using data I've gathered about the aurora and also city lights at night. I have searched very hard but I am unable to find any real footage like this... strange, but true. So like I said, I modelled this on data and extant footage that is relevant and I think it shows that the moon can also be used to make keen observations about our own planet. Moreover, how ...

ANIMATION OF THE MOON
http://www.universetoday.com/105577/this-is-the-moon-the-whole-moon-and-nothing-but-the-moon/ Check out this link. It's a link to an article written about a study done by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter team at Arizona State. They used reflectance maps as well as digital terrain models in order to do a view of all sides of the moon by rotating the moon in a video. For me, the most ...

WATER WATER EVERYWHERE...
but not a (glob) to drink !? Now that we have discovered water on the moon and mars in recent years I would like to know what everyone thinks; do you suppose that the whole solar system may be made partly of water ? only these inner bodies ? It is possible that the solar system is out there just waiting for us to set up shop abroad ? Plants can survive off of water, sun and co2, mars has that, ...

LADEE AND JUMPING LUNAR DUST
Part of the goal for LADEE is to study the lunar atmosphere. In fact, it’s right in the spacecraft’s name: Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer. “But hold up”, you might say, “doesn’t the Moon not have its own atmosphere? Last I knew, there was no air on the Moon.” And you’d be right. Well, almost. The simple story is that the Moon isn’t massive enough to hold on to an ...
