What effect does the moonlight have on the moon’s explorators?

According to RCO News Agency, When the shadow of the Earth is on Thursday night to Friday (March 1), the observers will see the full moon’s “bloody moon”. But how do the lunar spaces use solar energy, when they use solar energy, when they fall into the dark?

According to Space, it is time for the NASA Month Reconnaissance (LRO) to be ready for a challenge for years.

Noah Petro, a NASA Mission Identification Mission Scientist at NASA’s Gardard Space Flight Center, says: NASA’s scientific orbits and some of the non -required components of the spacecraft will be turned off during the full eclipse.

There is a risk for its battery. The spacecraft uses solar energy and, during its almost two -hour circulation, uses light to charge its internal battery and then uses it in the dark. However, NASA has revealed that by year 2, NASA’s Battery Reconnaissance Battery has decreased by 5 % as a result of continuous charging.

During the full eclipse on March 1-8, the moon’s orbits will be in the dark for five hours and 5 minutes. This is relatively long, but Petro is sure that its battery can keep the spacecraft alive.

“Before entering the eclipse, we charge the battery up to our maximum capacity,” he says. To prevent excessive energy discharge, any scientific tool in the spacecraft is turned off. During the eclipse, the interior temperature of the spacecraft can be reduced to 2 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 2 degrees Celsius), while the lesser -protected open -angle -angle camera camera can cool to a negative size of 2 Fahrenheit (negative 2 degrees Celsius). So action will be taken in advance to ensure that everything goes as good as possible.

Petro says: Since being in the dark also cools this orbits, we will warm up tools and spacecraft before the eclipse. This guarantees that the least extra power is received from the heaters during the lunar eclipse, while the spacecraft components are at normal operational temperature.

Precautions during the occurrence of the eclipse have not always been so severe. During the previous eclipse, the moon’s identification orbit was able to keep a tool on. It was a radiometric tool called Diviner, detecting thermal radiation from the moon to examine how it warms and cools during a lunar day.

The idea of ​​keeping that tool light during the eclipse was to study how the moon’s surface cools in the shadow of the earth, providing information on the composition and distribution of material size at the moon’s surface, composed of stone, small particles and dust. The size and composition of the rocks affect their cooling rate.

During the full eclipse on October 8, 2008, the Divaer specifically saw a crater called Kepler and a “cold spot” in the dark half of the moon. Specifically, cold spots are areas around some of the openings where the wall was found to have cooled abnormal temperatures.

What will happen to Blue Ghost?

The moon orbits of identifying the moon is not the only active mission of the moon in the moon. Firefla Space Ghost is the second private mission to land on the moon on the second day of March.

The blue ghost is conducting two NASA tests designed to check the moon. Similar to the moon’s identification orbit, the probe also uses solar energy. The blue ghost is designed to last only during the day, about two weeks a month, which is slowly rotating. In fact, the blue ghost landed on time to see the sunrise. After sunset, the landing batteries turn off, its heaters turn off, and the lunar night cold will probably die until mid -March.

But will the blue ghost stay so alive? The sunset occurs from the landing site of the blue ghost on March 6, but the full moon is two days before, and the landing in the shadow.

This mission may survive only the battery several hours after the lunar night. The eclipse takes a total of 3 hours and three minutes, but only 5 minutes will be complete. Other stages of the eclipse occur in a semiconductor, where some sunlight reaches the surface.

In fact, the Fireflash Aerospace Group is so sure that the blue ghost will survive the eclipse that they intend to take high -resolution images of the event from the moon, while the landing is in the shadow of the earth. In other words, in the moon, the blue ghost will see a complete solar eclipse!
