We're heading to the Moon’s South Pole (again) in 2026! 🌔Today at the Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium (LSIC) we announced our purchase: launch services aboard a #SpaceX#FalconHeavy rocket for our 3rd upcoming lunar lander mission!
Direct-to-#GEO (35,786 km) launches are exceptionally challenging for the #rocket. The upper stage must survive a roughly five-hour 🕔 coast to that apogee. During that coast, the rocket 🚀 must survive passes through both of #Earth’s harsh #radiation belts and maintain perfect control of its orientation and tank #pressures to keep its refined kerosene fuel from #freezing, its cryogenic liquid oxygen (LOx) from #boiling away, and itself from #bursting 💥 as its propellant warms and expands. https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-falcon-heavy-launch-spectacular-jellyfish/
