NASA Road-Tests New Moon Rover Engineers put the electric rover through its paces in the Arizona desert. Can the commercial sector rescue the U.S. human spaceflight program? Tests prove the feasibility of using nuclear reactors to provide electricity on the moon and Mars. How to Land Safely Back on the Moon A hazard-detection system promises safe landings for next-generation lunar explorers. The rewards of reporting an epic journey of man are more than the excitement of the moment. The audience shares new perspectives on another world. The U.S. space agency readies the first test flight of the vehicle destined for the moon. An advanced type of mass spectrometry has detected water in lunar particles. Using lunar dust, NASA scientists could build a large, inexpensive telescope on the moon. New technologies on NASA's next lunar spacecraft will collect information to make human exploration safer. An unmanned lunar rover could be the next to roam the moon. Landing a Spacecraft with Engines Blazing This year's Lunar Lander Challenge could provide the innovative approach that makes space tourism a reality. Lab experiments suggest that future fusion reactors could use helium-3 gathered from the moon. A lunar mission and a reusable launch vehicle are planned. [1]
