๐๐ฅ CAN A SATELLITE CRASH INTO THE MOON?
Absolutely! A spacecraft can collide with the lunar surface if its trajectory intersects the Moon or it loses the ability to correct its course.
๐ It can strike the surface at tremendous speed.
๐ The Moon has virtually no atmosphere to slow it down.
๐ฅ The impact can excavate lunar soil and create a brand-new crater.
Unlike Earth, the Moon has no thick atmosphere to protect its surface from incoming spacecraft.
Even a tiny spacecraft can leave a permanent mark on the Moon! ๐คฏ
