Nasa launches satellite to detect water on the moon

In the last few years, some countries including India have made progress regarding the exploration of Moon. The US space agency NASA has launched the Lunar Trailblazer satellite to discover water on the moon. Its weight is about 200 kg. It is about 3.5 meters wide when its solar panel is completely opened.

This satellite has been launched in a space from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. For this, Falcon 9 rocket of Spacex has been used. Moonlunar Trailblazer is made by Lockheed Martin. This is a secondary payload on Falcon 9 rocket. Another payload on it is the Lunar Lander Mission led by intuitive machine.

Earlier there was a indication of some amount of water on the moon. There may be large amounts of water ice at cold and permanent shade places on the moon. Lunar trailblazer has been sent to find water on the surface of the moon and to know its location. Nasa Soon a new telescope will also launch. NASA says it will make the ‘most colored’ map of the universe so far. The size of this telescope called Spherex is not high but it will provide large amounts of information in its nearly two years of mission.

It is an infrared telescope designed to take spectroscopic images. Spectroscopic images measure different wavelength of light from a source. This will provide important information about the growth of the universe and the star group. Along with this, it will also indicate the location of water in space. This mission will be launched on 27 February. Each object in the universe spreads lights in different colors. Our eyes divide all these lights into three bands. The lights from each object in the sky will be divided into 96 bands from the spherex. It will give new information about chemistry and physics of goods in the universe. This mission will strengthen the function of other infrared telescope in space. These include James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope. Both these telescopes are designed to take high-employment masters of very blurred objects in space.
