Chinese Moon Launch Today

Article: First Private Moon Mission to Launch on Chinese Rocket Today - Space.com

Today is expected to be the earliest launch window for China to launch its latest robotic mission to the moon. Onboard will be the first privately-funded component to ever travel to our nearest neighbor. LuxSpace, a company based in Luxembourg, has a mission called 4M. This module is attached to China's latest rocket.

The rocket stage on which the module is attached will circle the moon, then head back to Earth. Once in orbit back here, it will transmit signals, hopefully to be picked up by Amateur Radio operators around the world.

Article: All Three NASA Mars Orbiters Healthy After Comet Flyby - NASA

The three NASA Orbiters circling Mars gave "thumbs up" after their close encounter with Comet Siding Spring yesterday. The comet came within 87,000 miles of Mars on Sunday. It was the kind of event that only happens once every million years.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Odyssey and Mars Maven are all signaling as healthy. They were parked on the far side of the encounter to protect them. Many instruments were used to document the encounter, and photos and data should be available in a few days!

Mars Comet Encounter This Sunday!

Article: Comet's Mars Flyby Sunday Has Scientists Abuzz - Space.com

Comet Siding Spring will come within 87,000 miles of Mars on Sunday. This kind of event only happens once every million years. So, scientists are very eager to get a good look at the comet with those satellites orbiting Mars. They are curious to see what impact the particles from the comet might have on the thin atmosphere of Mars. The comet is thought to be about 4.6 billion years old. This would make it almost as old at the solar system itself.
