For reference, the moon is 238,900 miles away.
I guess they want the MX-1E lander to fly itself from LEO to the moon. Interesting concept, hope it works out for them.
- euyyn 9y agoI doesn't really work in distances, rather in delta-v. Getting to LEO takes ~9.5 km/s, and getting in a lunar trajectory from there, about 3 km/s more.
