What should I know about Lunar's survey?

For centuries, one dreamed of visiting the moon. Finally, it happened on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from the United States entered the Moon in the southern sea, north of the Moon's equator. Since then, futurists and space enthusiasts have expected colonization of the Moon by people or at least other trips. This was not realized because the last landing on the Moon was in 1972. Things began to look for 14th January 2004, when US President George W. Bush announced a vision for the universe survey planning another series of visits by 2020.

Although it seems that one is returning to the Moon, the future of Lunar's survey still looks dirty. The lunar survey is extremely expensive. This is for two reasons: the high cost of starting - in the result of starting a space based on a technology missile, which is very inefficient, not to mention dangerous - and lack of savings from the extent. The vision itself for exploration inThe reconciliation is likely to cost more than $ 20 billion (US dollars), resulting in half a dozen landing of the Moon, but intensive criticism has already been focused on the vision, including NASA. Robotic probes are considered to be similar scientific revenues at much lower costs. Examination with the crew is considered to be disproportionately expensive, more suitable over 60 years than today, because over 60 years, the United States has been involved in manifesting its technological superiority towards Soviet Russia.

To explore the Lunar, which really starts, humanity must develop a cheaper way to introduce a pay -up into space. The current costs are approximately $ 10,000 - $ 25,000 per kilogram ($ 6,000 - $ 15,000 per pound) to low orbit the Earth and almost twice as much for the Moon. This means that the launch of a spacecraft of 20.5 metrics (45,000 lb) Jakovozidlo Orion crew (with a capacity of six people) costs only more than $ 200 million for launch costs. This clearly causes a lunar surveyKUM something that only the richest nations or coalitions of nations can currently try to try.

The possibility of cheaper lunar assets was announced by announcing Google Lunar X prices Google Lunar X, which is a $ 5 million price for the first team to set up a moon, has to hand over 500 meters or more, and give back a high -resolution video from the Moon. There are also bonus prices for milestones as the production of a rover that can survive a lunar night, rating more than 5 kilometers (3.1 million), capturing images of people made on the Moon, or detecting ice in lunar craters. Many Lunar commentators consider this kind of success to be the immediate future of the Lunar survey until the alternative methods of starting the universe have been developed to reduce the costs of MIS with the Mission crew.
