NASA rockets going to be demolished on the Moon
Chicago - NASA will crash the two small rockets to the moon on Monday after they spent months to collect data from orbit within a few miles above the lunar surface, the U.S. space agency said on Thursday.
"We do not expect there will be a huge explosion," said project manager David Lehman of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "The fuel tank is empty and will rocket the size of a washing machine."
Two rockets were called Ebb and Flow is expected to be finished imposition controlled on a mountain near the North Pole Moon at about 22:28 GMT.
The rockets will hit the lunar surface with a speed of 1.7 kilometers per second.
Unfortunately, NASA will not get a picture of imposition because the area will be in shadow during a collision.
Two rockets were destroyed because they will soon run out of fuel and being too low in orbit so it can not do the mission again.
Two rockets were successfully produced the highest resolution gravity map ever collected from a space agency. The rocket that will provide a better understanding of how Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system formed and evolved, NASA said.
