Скачать или смотреть A Good Day @Moon_Ex - Dec 19, 2014

December 19, 2014 was a good day for Moon Express.

Moon Express has been testing it's MTV-1X lander prototype vehicle at the Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) since early November 2014. The testing is being conducted in partnership with NASA through the Lunar CATALYST program, and in pursuit of the Lander and Mobility Terrestrial Milestones Prizes of the $30M Google Lunar XPRIZE.

The MTV-1X is a compact donut-shaped green lunar lander design that uses hydrogen peroxide as a fuel, so the rocket exhaust is just invisible super heated steam and completely environmentally friendly. Steam is visible only during the warm up "burp" sequences prior to main engine ignition.
