Record moonquakes and explore so-called lunar plasma a thin layer of electrically charged particles above the surface. and the rover will be able to collect data for a few earth days then it will go dark for 14 days thats when the temperature drops to $160.00 degrees below 0 celsius. the orbiter will spend a year gathering data about the moon the objective is to fill in the gaps from indias previous mission it has 8 measuring instruments on board their function is to investigate the moons thin a...

From launches alone. and scientists have been working around the clock to get the craft ready for its launch in mid july the eventual am is to send an astronaut into space by 2022. im of bug is one of indias foremost science and technology journalists our correspondents caught up with him thank you for joining us you know israel chairman t.c. one calls this the most complex mission that israel has ever undertaken why is that oh its complex because its a korean one mission and i presume we are ta...

>> 30 weeks later, after "columbia" had been returned to the kennedy space center, astronauts joe engel and dick truly flew into space again. >> space shuttle was like a large truck that could deploy satellites and it had a robotic arm so that you can repair and upgrade spacecraft. >> and liftoff of the orbiter "challenger." and the sixth flight of the space shuttle. >> this was the birth of space travel not just space missions. we are talking about sending a laboratory, almost like a university...

Pulling us into the future and well continue to follow them. there will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. nothing ends here. our hopes and our journeys continue. >> to honor our fallen, we have to find this and fix it and fly it again. >> within a matter of days, we knew it was the solid rocket booster joint that had failed. the o-ring was a flawed design that had led to the loss of the "challenger." >> during the 30 ...
