LADEE will gather detailed information about the lunar atmosphere, conditions near the surface and environmental influences on lunar dust. <\/p>\n
Nasa also posted an image of Earth as seen by the Geostationary Satellite system (GOES). Geostationary describes an orbit in which a satellite is always in the same position with respect to the rotating Earth. <\/p>\n
