The concept is they use star field patterns in order to tell them where they’re pointed, while they are sailing from east to west or north to south, whatever direction they were going. no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/LROLandingSites.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/LROLandingSites.html Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:00:00 EDT One of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's primary objectives is to scout safe landing sites for future manned and robotic missions to the moon. To do so, LRO's suite of instruments work collectively to build a detailed picture of the surface. Let's take a look at how this is done. no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/arc-LCROSS_First_Step.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/arc-LCROSS_First_Step.html Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:00:00 EDT The Mission Objectives of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) include confirming the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater at the Moon’s South Pole. no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/drats_2007.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/drats_2007.html Thu, 13 Sep 2007 12:00:00 EDT NASA researchers test techniques for lunar exploration in the Arizona desert. no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/Haughton_Mars_project.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/Haughton_Mars_project.html Thu, 13 Sep 2007 12:00:00 EDT In July 2007, the NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group took two K10 robots to Haughton Crater, a 20-kilometer wide lunar crater analog. no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/athlete-20070808.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/athlete-20070808.html Thu, 09 Aug 2007 12:00:00 EDT JPL engineers built a futuristic robot that may one day go to the moon. no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/umbilical_transcription.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/umbilical_transcription.html Tue, 29 May 2007 12:00:00 EDT A space artifact from the past may hold an answer for tomorrow. no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/lunar_exploration_trailer.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/lunar_exploration_trailer.html Tue, 17 Apr 2007 12:00:00 EDT no http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/p2p_robot_vod_transcript.html http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/p2p_robot_vod_transcript.html Thu, 16 Mar 2006 12:00:00 EST no
