    Aiming to the Moon Project Ranger This essay is dedicated to my wife, Estrella, and daughters, Raquel and Sara, for their help and encouragement throughout this effort. 1 Carlos González 2 Carlos González Decision to go the Moon had been taken but our knowledge of our satellite was far from being adequate for such an endeavor and thus, program Ranger was developed, its objective: to obtain close-up images of the lunar surface. The idea was to send the craft in a direct trajectory to the Moon and take pictures and send them back to Earth until destroyed by the impact. The initial design goes back to the beginning of 1959 and it was conducted by JPL. It is obvious that NASA was already thinking in sending a man to the Moon as soon as practical. This initial design phase was divided into three “blocks” Ranger launch on an Atlas-Agena each one being more complex, with different mission objectives and more advanced technology than the previous. Block 1 mission was comprised of two launches which were not intended to go the Moon; they would be placed into Earth´s orbit to test the Atlas–Agena launcher. • Ranger 1, launched 23rd August 1961. • Ranger 2, launched 18th November 1961. Both launches failed as neither attained a stable Earth´s orbit due to problems with the launch Ranger Block 1 Spacecraft vehicle; the spacecrafts were not able to stabilize or collect solar energy and soon they decayed. Block 2 mission was comprised of three launches that would go to the Moon.

The Laboratory. Surveyors were designed for lunar soft landings. The Ranger Project Begun at the beginning of the 1960s as ambitious, independent and broad scientific activities, the Ranger was originally designed, beginning in 1959, in three distinct phases, called “blocks.” Each Full-scale mockup of the Surveyor spacecraft, displayed on a terrestrial beach. ground, all had to be developed and tried out in flight. Unfortunately, problems with the early version of the launch vehicle left Ranger 1 and Ranger 2 in short-lived, low-Earth orbits in which the spacecraft could not stabilize themselves, collect solar power, or survive for long. Block 2 of the Ranger project launched three spacecraft to the Moon in 1962, carrying a TV cam- era, a radiation detector, and a seismometer in a sepa- rate capsule slowed by a rocket motor and packaged to survive its low-speed impact on the Moon’s sur- face. The three missions together demonstrated good performance of the Atlas/Agena B launch vehicle and the adequacy of the spacecraft design, but unfortu- nately not all on the same attempt.

  • Classification of the Spacecraft and Space Exploration
    Classification of the Spacecraft and Space Exploration Dr. Alka Misra Department of Mathematics & Astronomy University of Lucknow Lucknow[Type text] Page 1 Spacecraft Classification Robotic spacecraft are specially designed and constructed systems that can function in specific hostile environments. Their complexity and capabilities vary greatly and their purposes are diverse. To make some sense of all these variables, this chapter arbitrarily designates eight broad classes of robotic spacecraft according to the missions the spacecraft are intended to perform: 1. Flyby spacecraft 2. Orbiter spacecraft 3. Atmospheric spacecraft 4. Lander spacecraft 5. Rover spacecraft 6. Penetrator spacecraft 7. Observatory spacecraft 8. Communications spacecraft we illustrate these eight classes. (Also please refer the JPL public website has an up-to-date listing of all past, current, future and proposed JPL robotic spacecraft missions) 1. Flyby Spacecraft Flyby spacecraft conducted the initial reconnaissance phase of solar system exploration. They follow a continuous solar orbit or escape trajectory, never to be captured into a planetary orbit. They must have the capability of using their instruments to observe targets they pass. Ideally, they can pan to compensate for the target's apparent motion in optical instruments' field of view. They must downlink data to Earth, storing data onboard Voyager 2 during the periods when their antennas are off Earth point. They must be able to survive long periods of interplanetary cruise. Flyby spacecraft may be designed to be stabilized in 3 axes using thrusters or reaction wheels or to spin continuously for stabilization. Our prime example of the flyby spacecraft category is Voyager 2, which conducted encounters in the Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune systems.
