The Athena Lunar Lander Couldn’t Measure Its Distance From The Surface
It's now been confirmed that the Athena lunar lander's altimeter failed around the time the spacecraft reached the Moon. This instrument is key in the process of determining the lander's distance from the surface, which it then uses during the final landing maneuver. Without it, the Athena spacecraft didn't know its distance from the ground, which no doubt had an impact on the lander tipping over and sliding into its final resting place in a crater. Altimeter Failure Athena’s laser altimeters use a 1.2-megawatt laser that fires for a few nanoseconds and has a range of 80km. The laser enables…
