A solar-powered visit to the Moon. The SMART-1 misson
Abstract
SMART stands for Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology. Europe's space scientists have fitted SMART-1 with very modern and compact sensors to map lunar minerals in greater detail than ever before, using infrared rays. With X-rays too, it will make the first comprehensive inventory of key chemical elements in the lunar surface.
