New Delhi, October 10: LCROSS impact NASA moon bombing video LCROSS video Google moon. NASA’s moon bombing has made headlines across the world. And it was a headline grabbing occasion as it was the first time that any space agency tried to resort to moon bombing to know the facts about the availability of water on lunar surface.
Though the live broadcast of the hitting of moon surface by LCROSS was not very clear for viewers who were waiting for weeks for the occasion, NASA scientists say that it created crater several feet deep and the data from it are going to held decide the presence of water on moon.
NASA has been a trendsetter and a pioneer in the space exploration. NASA's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.
To do that, thousands of people have been working around the world -- and off of it -- for 50 years, trying to answer some basic questions.
What's out there in space? How do we get there? What will we find? What can we learn there, or learn just by trying to get there, that will make life better here on Earth?
NASA has continued its scientific research. In 1997, Mars Pathfinder became the first in a fleet of spacecraft that will explore Mars in the next decade, as we try to determine if life ever existed there.
The Terra and Aqua satellites are flagships of a different fleet, this one in Earth orbit, designed to help us understand how our home world is changing. NASA's aeronautics teams are focused on improved aircraft travel that is safer and cleaner.
Throughout its history, NASA has conducted or funded research that has led to numerous improvements to life here on Earth.
NASA Headquarters, in Washington, provides overall guidance and direction to the agency, under the leadership of the Administrator.
Ten field centers and a variety of installations conduct the day-to-day work, in laboratories, on air fields, in wind tunnels and in control rooms.
NASA conducts its work in four principal organizations, called mission directorates:
* Aeronautics: pioneers and proves new flight technologies that improve our ability to explore and which have practical applications on Earth.
* Exploration Systems: creates new capabilities and spacecraft for affordable, sustainable human and robotic exploration.
* Science: explores the Earth, moon, Mars and beyond; charts the best route of discovery; and reaps the benefits of Earth and space exploration for society.
