Lunar Lander spacecraft, artwork C016 / 6386
Lunar Lander spacecraft. Artwork of the Lunar Lander robotic mission under development by the European Space Agency (ESA). The primary objective of this mission is to achieve an autonomous landing, paving the way for future ESA human and robotic exploration missions. The Lunar Lander is 3.44 metres in height and 5.6 metres across. Power is provided by solar panels (blue). It would land in the Moons south polar region, using a Hazard Detection and Avoidance system, and carry out surface operations for several months. It is scheduled for launch in 2018, but as of 2012 funding is not certain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lunar Lander spacecraft, artwork C016 / 6386, which is currently under development by the European Space Agency (ESA). The image highlights the immense engineering and technological prowess behind this robotic mission. Standing at an impressive height of 3.44 meters and spanning 5.6 meters across, the Lunar Lander aims to achieve a groundbreaking autonomous landing on the Moon's south polar region. Equipped with solar panels that provide essential power in a striking blue hue, this spacecraft represents a significant milestone for future ESA missions involving both human and robotic exploration. Its primary objective is to pave the way for these ambitious endeavors. Scheduled for launch in 2018 (although funding remains uncertain as of 2012), this lunar explorer will utilize its Hazard Detection and Avoidance system to ensure safe touchdown on the Moon's surface. Once landed, it will conduct extensive surface operations over several months. The artwork beautifully captures every intricate detail of this cutting-edge machine against a pristine white background. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our celestial neighbor and underscores our commitment to space exploration in the twenty-first century. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image, we are reminded of mankind's unyielding curiosity and determination to unravel the mysteries beyond Earth's boundaries. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to scientific progress while igniting our imagination about what lies ahead in our journey through space.
