NASA Lab Asks India to Partner For Robotic Moon Mission
February 13, 2011 0 CommentsI fully support this international partnership, but only if the robots bust out dancing after they land on the Moon. Indian news sites are reporting today that NASA's pre-eminent Jet Propulsion Laboratory has approached the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) proposing a joint partnership for MoonRise, a potential mission to the Moon's south pole region. India's role would be to launch an orbiter around the Moon, while NASA would land the robot.
