The three-year voyage is just about to end! Europe’s first mission to the moon - the European Space Agency’s SMART-1 - will crash-land in a cloud of dust and rock early Sunday.
The voyage has gathered data about the lunar surface. It also tested a new engine intended to propel future spacecraft to Mercury and other planets!
The space scientists and the astronomers are curiously and anxiously waiting for the SMART-1 hitting its target on a volcanic plain called the Lake of Excellence at 1:41 a.m. EDT. It is orbiting lower and lower as it makes its final approach at 4,475 mph.
Europe's three-year-long first Lunar Mission is Near to End
