It was Successful
“The total delta-V capability of the spacecraft is about 2,700 m/s (6,000 mph),At 4,800 kilograms (about 10,600 pounds), Juice is a heavy spacecraft, The total costs of the mission stand at around €1.6 billion ($1.7 billion), and This ESA-led, global collaboration included 18 institutions, 23 countries and 83 companies“

Clementine U.S.A January 25, 1994

2024-05-01 18:16:00 UTC

What was it’s purpose?

It’s purpose was to test sensors and spacecraft components under extended exposure of space. It was also used to a make scientific observations of the moon and the asteroid near Earth, 1620 Geographos.

Was it a success or a failure?

It was partially successful with its primary goals, but it didn’t complete all of it’s secondary goals.

Here are four facts about CLEMENTINE!!!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Clementine was the first mission to get a complete look at the lunar surface, even the poles!

It was the first to find evidence of ice at the bottom of a permanently shadowed crater at the moon’s South Pole!

The spacecraft was 935 pounds!

It was launched at the Vandenberg Space Force Base!

Apollo 14 Jan. 31, 1971

2024-05-01 18:17:56 UTC

The primary objectives of this mission were to explore the Fra Mauro region centered around deployment of the Apollo Lunar Surface Scientific Experiments Package, or ALSEP; lunar field geology investigations; collection of surface material samples for return to Earth; deployment of other scientific instruments not part of ALSEP; orbital science involving high-resolution photography of candidate future landing sites; photography of deep-space phenomena, such as zodiacal light and gegenschein; communications tests using S-band and VHF signals to determine reflective properties of the lunar surface; engineering and operational evaluation of hardware and techniques; tests to determine variations in S-band signals; and photography of surface details from 60 nautical miles in altitude. It was successful

The crew mates were Alan B. Shepard Jr., Commander
Edgar D. Mitchell, Lunar Module Pilot
Stuart A. Roosa, Command Module Pilot

Fun fact Due to communications system problems, the first period of extra vehicular activity, or EVA, began almost one hour later than scheduled with Commander Alan Shepard setting foot on the lunar surface at 114 hours, 31 minutes GET. The first of the two EVA periods included ALSEP deployment and lasted four hours, 49 minutes. Another fact During the two traverses, the astronauts collected 94 pounds of rocks and soil for return to Earth. The samples were scheduled to go to 187 scientific teams in the United States, as well as 14 other countries for study and analysis.

Another fact Apollo 14 launched at 4:03 p.m exactly another fact Orbital science activities were conducted by Stuart Roosa during the lunar surface activities period. He experienced some difficulties with the high-resolution, motion-compensating Hycon Lunar Topographic Camera while attempting to photograph the Descartes area, the landing site planned for Apollo 16.
