The
year is 2015. For the first time since 1972, a crew of astronauts
is returning to the Moon, this time to stay. The mission begins
with the Spacecraft in Earth’s orbit. The crew aboard the spacecraft
will leave Earth’s orbit and travel to the Moon. During the course
of the mission the crew will build and launch a probe to the lunar
surface, recover a probe that is stranded in space, repair the
damaged probe and determine the best site for the establishment
of the first permanent lunar base.
Team members in both Mission Control and the Spacecraft must work
and decide together how best to accomplish these tasks. The anticipation
builds as the Moon nears. The retrorockets fire, we enter the
gravitational pull of the Moon and we have touchdown!
