A US spacecraft has not made a soft landing on the Moon since the last of the Apollo missions in 1972. (The LCROSS mission in 2009 deliberately crashed a vehicle into the Moon to examine the material kicked up by the impact) Nova-C could change that when it blasts into space atop a SpaceX rocket in the first quarter of 2022. The spacecraft, Nova-C is capable of transporting a payload of 130kg, but for its first flight is only carrying 80kg. Mr Crain says that once Nova-C has proven itself, they will build bigger spacecraft. The company has plans for one that can carry a payload of five tonnes. Why do you think that moon missions are of great importance ?
