Borehole to drill on the moon a scientists suggest - VIDEO
Forty-five years ago, Neil Armstrong took his first famous steps on the Moon, but hopes that flights to the satellite of the Earth will become commonplace, and not fulfilled. However, the British team of independent scientists is hoping to change that and literally dig a little deeper.

"Moon Mission 1" will allow people to do something they have never done before - go into the bowels of the Moon. Drilling project on Earth satellite offer British scientists.

"For about ten years, we will send a mission to the Moon. Research will be carried out using the most advanced equipment and drilling technology, "- said the company's founder Lunar Missions Ltd. David Irons.

Japanese and Americans made the race to the Moon - VIDEO

The two teams participating in the competition rovers Google Lunar X prize declared their intention to join forces and send their devices to the Moon by the end of 2016. Immediately after landing three Moonwalker (American and two Japanese) will start the race at 500 meters, translating their movements to Earth in HD-video. On the plan according to a company press release Astrobotic.
In December 2014 Astrobotic announced that he was going to send your unit (Andy) on board the Falcon 9 rocket SpaceX. Flight of a rocket from Cape Canaveral at the end of 2016. In February 2015, the Japanese firm has agreed with HAKUTO Astrobotic about to take on board and its rovers - Moonraker and Tetris.

Landing is planned for Lake of Death, in the region of the lunar caves, which in the future can be used as a basis for living quarters. Astrobiotic, engaged in space transportation, is ready to carry on the Moon and other vehicles involved in the competition (if they agree to cover part of the costs). Although the race director Astrobiotic called «NASCAR on the Moon", the average speed of vehicles does not exceed 800 meters per hour.

Google Lunar X prize - prize, which established the X prize Foundation and by Google. The prize will be awarded to the team that will create a lunar rover that meet specified conditions. The prize fund is $ 30 million. Conditions of competition include three main tasks: a soft landing on the lunar surface, walking on it (not less than 500 meters) and transfer to Earth images and video in high definition. Now the Japanese claim the prize fund (Hakuto), Indian (Team Indus), German (Part-Time Scientists) and two American teams (Astrobotic and Moon Express).

Application for the Lunar X prize submitted to the Russian team "Selenokhod." In December 2013, however, she withdrew from the competition due to lack of funds. To build "Selenokhod" needed a million dollars.

In lava tubes on the Moon can fit the whole city - VIDEO

On the Moon, there are a large number of lava tubes - tunnels formed as a result of the flow through the rocks of volcanic lava flows - and according to a new theoretical study of these geological formations are so big and strong that they can build entire communities for future lunar colonists.

Scientific data obtained from the satellite Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) NASA indicate that the diameters of the lava tubes located on the Moon, can exceed one kilometer. These subsurface formations can serve the purposes of long-term program of human exploration of the Moon, providing safe havens from cosmic radiation falling meteorites and temperature differences between the lunar day and night, according to researchers at Purdue University, USA.

David Blair, a graduate of the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Atmospheric and Planetary Purdue University, led a study in which an attempt was made to find out whether empty lava tube with a diameter of more than one kilometer to stay on the Moon structurally stable.

The research team found that, provided that the lunar tube on the Moon will have the same arched profile in cross-section, as well as lava tubes on the planet, then these formations can remain structurally stable on the Moon with a width of up to 5000 meters.

"The lava tube, of course, can not reach the same size in the world, where gravity is much higher, but the Moon is quite real. In addition, the rocks on the Moon is less susceptible to weathering, "- said Blair.

Blair and his team found that the stability of the lava tube depends on its width, height overlying rock and the stresses in the cooled lava covering the walls of lava tubes. Researchers have made a large number of simulation sessions, using a wide range of values ​​of the input parameters specified above.

The results of this study, presented in March of this year, the Conference of Sciences of the Moon and planets have so far been implemented for use in civil engineering, the design of tunnels in the world.

Future research, said Blair will give a more detailed picture of the maximum possible size of lava tubes on the Moon.
