GRAIL Spacecraft replica


Recommended Posts

The Gravity Recovery and Interior laboratory Twin spacecraft launched aboard a Delta II rocket to map the Gravitational field of the moon to determine it's interior structure in 2012. It used a low energy transfer using the L1 Lagrange point to reduce fuel requirements. While you can't do that in KSP (yet), this replica can still orbit the moon. It had a short mission, lasting less than an year, but conducted major science before it impacted into the moon. It was part of the Discovery Program of low cost mission less than 450 Million$.

Now you can study the Mun's gravity with my replica of the twin space probes nicknamed Ebb and Flow. It comes with a few science experiments, weighs 1299 Kg, 60 parts, and a hefty 703 m/s of delta-V. It's monopropellant powered like the real spacecraft.

Thank you for stopping by, and leave some rep if you enjoyed! (Happens to be the first time I saw and screenshot a mun arch too ;))
