NASA. The famous American space agency made a very important announcement regarding the Moon that illuminates our night, and we are talking about something that shows how much technologies have evolved in recent years. More precisely, those from NASA have announced that they want to do an infrared scan of the Moon to create as detailed a map as possible of the astral body that has been revolving around the earth non-stop for a very long time.
NASA. A series of infrared cameras will be used by the American space agency to scan the surface of the Moon, a device called the Lunar Compact Infrared Imaging System (L-CIRiS) being used for this. NASA does this scan before making the decision to send astronauts to the Moon, various missions being already planned, but for now no date has been finalized for any of them.
GODMOTHER. The AMAZING Announcement Made by the Agency With a View to the MOON
NASA. The device that will do the infrared scanning of the Moon will be sent into outer space in one of the space missions that will take place in the next 5 years, so it will not have its own one. The infrared cameras will be mounted on a robot that will walk on the surface of the moon, and NASA will record images including during the moon landing process, so there will be detailed images both from the ground and from a height.
"The selected investigations will go to the Moon on future flights through NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) project. The CLPS project allows rapid acquisition of lunar delivery services for payloads like these that advance capabilities for science, exploration, or commercial development of the Moon. Many of the new selections incorporate existing hardware, such as parts or models designed for missions that have already flown."
NASA. With the help of the data recorded by the Lunar Compact Infrared Imaging System (L-CIRiS), space missions will be able to be carried out in much greater safety, but what is on the Moon will also be better understood. NASA has been trying for years and years to make clearer recordings of what is on the moon, and now it is slowly starting to receive high-quality, more detailed images of the surface of the cosmic body.
NASA. More details about the mission in which the Lunar Compact Infrared Imaging System (L-CIRiS) will be sent will be revealed by the Americans in the coming months and years.
