R.I.P. Smart-1!
The experimental satellite SMART-1 is scheduled to hit the moon near the Lake of Excellence tomorrow at 05:41 Pixies time. The European Space Agency hopes that the debris kicked up from the impact site will provide information about the Moon's composition and history.
From what I have read, the SMART-1 mission has been very successful. I hope that as it ends with a bang, the mission gets one last scientific payback.
Good luck!
