Summary[edit]

Description

LADEE: Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer

Image Credit: NASA

At 11:27 p.m. EDT on September 6, 2013, LADEE, NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, launched on a mission to our Moon. The robotic mission orbited the Moon while it gathered detailed information about the structure and composition of the thin lunar atmosphere; it also sought to discover whether dust is lofted into the lunar sky. A thorough understanding of these characteristics of our nearest celestial neighbor will help researchers understand other bodies in the solar system, such as large asteroids, Mercury, and the moons of outer planets. The mission officially ended on April 17, 2014, when the spacecraft impacted the surface of the Moon, as planned.
