Discover the scientific and technological advances needed to safely travel 250,000 miles and survive the hostile conditions of reduced gravity, extreme temperatures and toxic lunar dust. Enjoy an immersive experience as we dock, land and explore the vast lunar landscape using 3D animations and photo-real ‘point-of-view’ visuals.
