European Student Moon Orbiter   External and internal view of ESMO     The European Student Moon Orbiter is planned to be the first European student mission to the Moon. ESMO also represents an opportunity for students to contribute to the scientific knowledge and future exploration of the Moon by returning new data and testing new technologies.   The ESMO spacecraft is designed to be launched into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) as a secondary payload in late 2013 or early 2014.     Quick Facts Project: European Student Moon Orbiter Level: University Status: System Design Review successful Preliminary Design Review on-going Contact: Roger Walker, esmo @ esa.int       Last update: 18 October 2011 More information  •  ESMO mission (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEML0MPR4CF_0.html)  •  Technical facts (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMYRISJR4G_0.html)  •  Current teams (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMMHDPJH4G_0.html)  •  European Student Earth Orbiter (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMA0NEMKBF_0.html) Documents  •  ESMO fact sheet (http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/edu/ESMO_fact_sheet_20101111.pdf) Related news  •  Invitation to Tender for Student Moon Orbiter (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMCUVKTYRF_0.html)  •  ESMO call for proposals for new student teams (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMA127UWJF_0.html)  •  Student teams needed for moon mission (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMPR73XQEF_0.html)  •  Call for interest for ESEO and ESMO projects (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMM24VHJCF_0.html) Related links  •  EMITS News (http://emits.esa.int/emits/owa/emits.main) Register for ESA Education projects  •  - (http://www.joinspace.org)
