Hey There Future Space Travelers!!
First things first …. It’s Summer Vacation! WoOT!!!
Here’s some NASA stuff to know about June …
June 3: Ed White made the first U.S. spacewalk during the Gemini 4 mission in 1965.
June 10: The Mars Rover Spirit left Earth on this day in 2003 to explore the surface of the red planet. It’s still going strong after 1928 Sols … that’s 1838 Sols past it’s expected life. His twin buddy Opportunity is still working on Mars too having logged 1907 Sols.
June 13: STS-127 mission aboard Endeavor is targeted for launch to the International Space Station carrying the Kibo Experiment Module. This 16 day mission will have 5 spacewalks to install 2 platforms outside the Japanese module
June 17: This is the targeted launch date for LRO/LCROSS. LRO is the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter which will conduct investigations to prepare and support future human exploration on the moon. Stacked on top of LRO is LCROSS, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite which will work to confirm the presence or absence of water ice at the Moon’s South Pole.
