Mission Lunar
Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) scheduled for launch into
space from Wallops Island on September 5 this year. LADEE will be the first
mission, sent from the Wallops Island, which will go beyond low-Earth orbit. As
a joint project of the Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA Ames Research
Center, LADEE will learn from orbit conditions that exist on the Moon,
including its tenuous exosphere.
