Agenda
1. Ch. 22 Sec 3 Org
2. Ch. 22 Sec 3 Lect
3. Maven Article
NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE, pronounced like "laddie") 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. A thorough understanding of these characteristics will address long-standing unknowns, and help scientists understand other planetary bodies as well.
Questions
1. Why do we want to know more about the moon's atmosphere?
2. Why not send people to the moon again instead of LADEE?
3. What are the advantages of using a modular design for probes as opposed to custom built probes for one purpose?
