Advanced Navigation will become the first Australian company to deploy technology to to the moon, in a new bid set to "take all the risk out" of future landings.
The technology uses low-powered laser sensors to determine objects relative to spacecraft—like the moon— and will be integrated in future rocket launches."Typically in the movies when you you see a moon landing in the control centre, everyone will be gritting their teeth because it's quite a risky exercise.
"We will launch on a Space X Falcon nine rocket — 32 minutes after launch we separate and at that point we are basically shot out of a cannon on our way to the moon," Intuitive Machines vice president Tim Crain said.
The Kiwis sent one to the moon about three weeks ago. Rocket Lab launched the Advanced Space Capstone satellite to orbit the moon. The first private moon satellite.
Why a picture of a moon lander trying to land on Earth and why is there mention of atmospheric dust on the moon?
