Scientist Finds Moon Landing Site Of Apollo 16’s Rocket Booster
- 8 years ago
Physicist Jeff Plescia has located the moon landing site of Apollo 16’s rocket booster component called S-IVB which was deliberately dropped on the lunar body in the early 70s as an experiment, but it’s location and data were lost due to a malfunction.
A space-related mystery has been solved after almost 44 years.
The place where an Apollo 16 rocket booster crashed into the moon has been located and, according to the researcher Jeff Plescia, “It looks like the others, but its position was much more poorly defined since the tracking was lost prior to impact.”
Launched in 1972, Apollo 16 was NASA’s fifth manned mission to the moon.
