LADEE-probe LADEE L-14 Media Briefing A model of the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft is seen in the foreground during a LADEE mission briefing at NASA Headquarters, Thursday, Aug, 22, 2013, in Washington. Data from NASA's LADEE mission will provide unprecedented information about the environment around the moon and give scientists a better understanding of other planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond. The LADEE mission is scheduled to launch at 11:27 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va. At mission-end, the probe will be dropped out of Lunar-orbit and impact the Lunar surface, simulating a meteor-strike. Telescopes around the world will be focusing on this event.
