Using laser altimeter data, Jinsong Ping and Qian Huang et al obtained improved 3D lunar topography, and based on this, they had made new discoveries (such as impact basins and volcanic deposit highlands) of some ancient topographic characteristics on the lunar surface. Chao Chen and Qing Liang et al found the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin as the biggest mascon on the moon and put forward a fault structure hypothesis for the Apenninue Mountain, which is significant for the study of the origin and evolution of the moon. http://www.physorg.com/news178867605.html Space & Earth Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:40:02 EST news178867605 South Korea has rescheduled its first space rocket launch from its soil to August 11 after repeatedly postponing it due to technical reasons, officials said Saturday. http://www.physorg.com/news168412334.html Space & Earth Sun, 02 Aug 2009 06:50:02 EST news168412334 (PhysOrg.com) -- Forty years ago, Apollo astronauts set out on a daring adventure to explore the Moon.
