NASA Sets Sights on Mars After
Unmanned Moon Shot
Today, NASA launched an unmanned spacecraft to the moon. The goal for launching this moon porbes are to monitor and map out the terrain of the moon. This launch was just a short month after the launch of Juno, another spacecraft, to Jupiter. The spacecraft is expected to arrive on Jupiter in July 2016. The Grail lift offs were not uneventful this morning when the weather provided difficulty for launch. But after some wait, Grail went up at 9:08 this morning. Mars is NASAs next target in that they want to send a rover to go over the terrain and research the hospitality of Mars. NASA also wants to explore the 96-mile crater on Mars. In the meantime, NASA is requesting students across the nation to come up with a better name for the Grail probes to make sure the children have an influence.
