Things You Should Know About Moon Lander

By Brian Ross


Landers are spacecrafts which descends towards and softly lands on an astronomical body surface using parachutes, rockets or airbag cushions before impact. They would remain functional after landing unlike the impactors which loses functions after impacting the surface. This is done to study the consequences when an object hits that area and the materials found on them.

Numerous countries are developing vehicles like these so they can send them into space and study the different astronomical bodies surrounding the planet. Among them is the moon lander that could carry humans even on them with some successful results. Asteroids, comets and other planets have been landed by these machines they still are unmanned ones.

The United States is the first and only country to successfully send humans to moon beginning with Apollo 11 and followed by five others. Other countries have sent their own spacecrafts to the lunar surface but these are unmanned. These missions allow them to bring back materials which scientists on Earth can study to learn more about.

The mission of Apollo 11 was broadcast in live television with a worldwide audience seeing the first steps made by humans there. The space race was ended because of this success between the rival countries of Russia and United States which were racing for first manned exploration there. Although some skeptics are there and believed that moon landing was faked.

They claim this based on photographs which they say were manipulated and shows things they think are impossible to happen there. An example is the erected flag flapping as if a wind is there though that should not occur because of an absence of air there. The flag was flapping because of the inertia caused by the astronauts placing it there.

Another is a photograph where both astronauts are seen on moon without any visible camera that they said is an indication of a cameraman being present. The explanation for this though is the cameras were attached to their spacesuits and outside the lander as well. Mysterious reflections were said to be from studio lights that were only lens flare actually.

Stars are also not visible because the lunar surface reflects so much sunlight and the cameras used have fast shutter speed which they cannot pick. The shadows have inconsistencies because multiple light sources are available that are not from a production set. These are from the sun, as well as sunlight reflected from earth and other satellites around them.

This mission brought back also many evidences that nonbelievers say were manufactured although these were verified by independent parties as being authentic. These include the lunar rocks consistent to the ones found that feel on Earth. Space agencies of other countries released reports of their observations too during the mission which they tracked down and followed the progress made.

They also claim that if it really happened then the biggest and most powerful telescope on Earth should be able to see the spacecraft. This is impossible because the distance is too great although a new spacecraft has been orbiting the moon now. It photographed the various spacecrafts that landed on the lunar surface with better image resolution.
