Atlas 5 Rocket Launches to the Moon
This Atlas V rocket is headed for the Moon, having roared off the launch pad last week. It is carrying two robotic spacecraft, NASA's first missions to Earth's Moon in ten years. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is scheduled to orbit and map the Moon, search for ice, and return high-resolution images. Some images will be below one meter in resolution and include historic Apollo landing sites.
