Flight

The team is currently developing the mission analysis to detail all the aspects of the flight. It will start as (1) a primary payload of a comercial rocket, e.g.Falcon 9, although we are studying alternatives including teaming up with other GLXP competitors. Depending of the final choice, the launcher will position the Cruise and Descent Module (CDM) in an Earth Orbit (2), from which it will ignite its rockets to accelerate into a translunar injection (3). The CDM will then slow down to capture a low lunar orbit (4). The CDM as a whole or a part of it as a Descent Module (DM) will break off and slow down in a controlled manner to softly land on the Lunar surface (5-7).
