Webquest I Task #5

1. What are some of the planned lunar mission listed?
Grail is planned by the USA on September 6, 2011.  They are researching the gravity field and Interior Structure of the Moon.

Ladee is planned by the USA in 2012.  It's mission is to study the moon's atmosphere and dust.

A private company is planning a moon express in 2013. It's mission is mining the moon and it's economic value.




Based on what you have researched, what can learn from the Moon about the Solar System? About the Earth?
I learned about gravity of the planet Earth and the moon's atmosphere are interrelated.  I learned about the composition of the lunar atmosphere and gravity.

2. What do you think is the best way to do this? A human mission, robotic mission, or both? Why?
I think you should use both robotic and human missions. During a robotic mission you can retrieve constant pictures and reach higher levels of elevations than with human explorations!
