Lunar Lion – University-led Mission To The Moon
Students, staff & professionals at Penn State are serious contenders to become the first entity to land the Lunar Lion spacecraft on the Moon.
Description
Students, faculty, staff, and professionals at Penn State are serious contenders to become the first private entity to ever land a spacecraft on the Moon, the Lunar Lion. The Lunar Lion space craft will take off on board a commercial launch vehicle. After cruising through space for five days, the spacecraft will land on the surface of the Moon and send back high-res images and videos to Penn State’s mission control center. After this first lunar touchdown, the team will launch the Lunar Lion from the Moon’s surface and fly it to a second landing site.
