NASA Ames LADEE Mission Animation: Meteorite Impact on the Moon

Показать описание
NASA Ames' Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) is a robotic mission that will orbit the moon to gather detailed information about the lunar atmosphere, conditions near the surface and environmental influences on lunar dust. LADEE is scheduled to launch from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Sept. 6, 2013.

In this animation, a meteorite impacts the lunar surface. Scientists believe meteorite impacts are among the major sources for the lunar exosphere and lofted dust. Telescopes with apertures from eight to 14 inches are ideal to detect and record flashes from meteoroid impacts on the lunar surface. During the LADEE Mission, NASA would like to maximize the number of observers watching for and recording lunar meteoroid impacts to correlate these events with any changes LADEE's instruments might detect in the structure and composition of the lunar atmosphere.

Bad animation, even the air movement (camera) has been simulated, I do not like it and I do not like the dust that goes upwards while in reality, as seen in the Apollo missions, the dust immediately falls on the lunar surface.
