According to Space.com, the final selection has been made for the next DISCOVERY mission.
It will be the GRAIL lunar gravity mapping mission. Space.com article Edit: Just noticed that Norm Hartnett posted an official link earlier on the KAGUYA topic: NASA |

Any idea when the gravity map will be published? I can not seem to find any information on it. Is there one currently being made or is it not public yet?
The entire mission seems pretty uneventful so far. From what I remember there was a some excitement because GRAIL would be able to test the Two Moon hypothesis. What happened? Is it still a valid theory? Even if the gravity map isn't complete yet, if part of it seemed to suggest the above was correct I would expect at least some kind of announcement from NASA. Is everyone being hush, hush, instead? It's my first post so be gentle |
