We are really punching above our weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Intricate Navigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before it can use these instruments to collect science data, Lunar Trailblazer will for several months perform a series of Moon flybys, thruster bursts, and looping orbits. These highly choreographed maneuvers will eventually position the spacecraft so it can map the surface in great detail.<\/p>\n<p>Weighing only 440 pounds (200 kilograms) and measuring 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) wide when its solar panels are fully deployed, Lunar Trailblazer is about the size of a dishwasher and has a relatively small engine. To make its four-to-seven-month trip to the Moon (depending on the launch date) as efficient as possible, the mission\u2019s design and navigation team has planned a trajectory that will use the gravity of the Sun, Earth, and Moon to guide the spacecraft \u2014 a technique called low-energy transfer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe initial boost provided by the rocket will send the spacecraft past the Moon and into deep space, and its trajectory will then be naturally reshaped by gravity after several lunar flybys and loops around Earth. This will allow it to be captured into lunar orbit with minimal propulsion needs,\u201d said Gregory Lantoine, Lunar Trailblazer\u2019s mission design and navigation lead at JPL. \u201cIt\u2019s the most fuel-efficient way to get to where we need to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As it flies past the Moon several times, the spacecraft will use small thruster bursts \u2014 aka trajectory correction maneuvers \u2014 to slowly change its orbit from highly elliptical to circular, bringing the satellite down to an altitude of about 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the Moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arriving at the Moon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once in its science orbit, Lunar Trailblazer will glide over the Moon\u2019s surface, making 12 orbits a day and observing the surface at a variety of different times of day over the course of the mission. The satellite will also be perfectly placed to peer into the permanently shadowed craters at the Moon\u2019s South Pole, which harbor cold traps that never see direct sunlight. If Lunar Trailblazer finds significant quantities of ice at the base of the craters, those locations could be pinpointed as a resource for future lunar explorers.<\/p>\n<p>The data the mission collects will be transmitted to NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/directorates\/somd\/space-communications-navigation-program\/what-is-the-deep-space-network\/\">Deep Space Network<\/a> and delivered to Lunar Trailblazer\u2019s new operations center at Caltech\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipac.caltech.edu\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IPAC<\/a> in Pasadena, California. Working alongside the mission\u2019s experienced team will be students from Caltech and nearby Pasadena City College who are involved in all aspects of the mission, from operations and communications to developing software.<\/p>\n<p>Lunar Trailblazer was a selection of NASA\u2019s SIMPLEx (Small Innovative Missions for Planetary Exploration), which provides opportunities for low-cost science spacecraft to ride-share with selected primary missions. To maintain the lower overall cost, SIMPLEx missions have a higher risk posture and lighter requirements for oversight and management. This higher risk acceptance allows NASA to test pioneering technologies, and the definition of success for these missions includes the lessons learned from more experimental endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a small mission with groundbreaking science goals, so we will succeed by embracing the flexibility that\u2019s built into our organization,\u201d said Lee Bennett, Lunar Trailblazer operations lead with IPAC. \u201cOur international team consists of seasoned engineers, science team members from several institutions, and local students who are being given the opportunity to work on a NASA mission for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More About Lunar Trailblazer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lunar Trailblazer is led by Principal Investigator Bethany Ehlmann of Caltech in Pasadena, California. Caltech also leads the mission\u2019s science investigation and mission operations. This includes planning, scheduling, and sequencing of all science, instrument, and spacecraft activities during the nominal mission.\u00a0Science data processing will be done in the Bruce Murray Laboratory for Planetary Visualization at Caltech. NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California manages Lunar Trailblazer and provides system engineering, mission assurance, the HVM3 instrument, and mission design and navigation. Lockheed Martin Space provides the spacecraft, integrates the flight system, and supports operations under contract with Caltech. University of Oxford developed and provided the LTM instrument. Part of NASA\u2019s Lunar Discovery Exploration Program, the mission is managed by NASA\u2019s Planetary Mission Program Office at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the agency\u2019s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Lunar Trailblazer, visit:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/missions\/lunar-trailblazer\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/missions\/lunar-trailblazer<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"nasa-gb-align-center nasa-button-link padding-y-1 padding-x-0 hds-module wp-block-nasa-blocks-related-link\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/news\/how-nasas-lunar-trailblazer-could-decipher-the-moons-icy-secrets\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-md link-external-true\" aria-label=\"How NASA\u2019s Lunar Trailblazer Could Decipher the Moon\u2019s Icy Secrets\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">How NASA\u2019s Lunar Trailblazer Could Decipher the Moon\u2019s Icy Secrets<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"nasa-gb-align-center nasa-button-link padding-y-1 padding-x-0 hds-module wp-block-nasa-blocks-related-link\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/news\/nasas-lunar-trailblazer-gets-final-payload-for-moon-water-hunt\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-md link-external-true\" aria-label=\"NASA\u2019s Lunar Trailblazer Gets Final Payload for Moon Water Hunt\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">NASA\u2019s Lunar Trailblazer Gets Final Payload for Moon Water Hunt<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"nasa-gb-align-center nasa-button-link padding-y-1 padding-x-0 hds-module wp-block-nasa-blocks-related-link\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/news\/moon-water-imager-integrated-with-nasas-lunar-trailblazer\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-md link-external-true\" aria-label=\"Moon Water Imager Integrated With NASA\u2019s Lunar Trailblazer\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">Moon Water Imager Integrated With NASA\u2019s Lunar Trailblazer<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>News Media Contacts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Karen Fox \/ Molly Wasser<br \/>NASA Headquarters, Washington<br \/>202-358-1600<br \/><a href=\"mailto:karen.c.fox@nasa.gov\">karen.c.fox@nasa.gov<\/a> \/ <a href=\"mailto:molly.l.wasser@nasa.gov\">molly.l.wasser@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ian J.
