Hi, this is Morris Jones, a long-time lurker but new poster.
I thought it would be worth exploring a few lunar missions that don't seem to be discussed much at the moment. The exact fate of some of these missions is open to question. Let's see if we can work out what's going on. International Lunar Network: This was announced with fanfare a few years ago. Little more has been generally discussed. The whole thing seems to be going through committee meetings, with a lot of details unresolved. LADEE: Is this still on target? There were suggestions two years ago that cost overruns in the Mars Science Laboratory could gobble funds from this and other missions. This was later dismissed. Then MSL grew more hungry, and the subject was open to discussion again. GRAIL: Not much more talk, but apparently still actively in development. Luna-Glob: The recent delay in Phobos-Grunt could influence its own launch timetable. American Student Moon Orbiter: The silence is deafening. Reports on the status of any of these missions would be appreciated. Cheers, Morris |

Anyone know what the current status of the two ARTEMIS probes is? They were originally supposed to go into lunar orbit in April, but that was postponed, possibly until July.
What was the reason for the postponement? Is July still on? |

This link answers some of my questions, it is indeed July: http://www.universetoday.com/87044/artemis...to-lunar-orbit/ |
