地球懸掛在這張太空時代自拍照的背景中。這張快照是由 IM- 2 Nova-C 著陸器雅典娜(Athena)在 2 月 26 日向月球發射後剛完成階段分離時拍攝的。雅典娜號是一個高大的機器人著陸器,計劃於 3 月 6 日星期四在月球南極附近的Mons Mouton 高原著陸。預定著陸點位於阿耳特彌斯 3 號潛在著陸區的中部。雅典娜號搭載的漫遊車和實驗裝置是美國宇航局商業月球有效載荷服務計劃的一部分,其中包括一個鑽頭,用於探索月球表面之下,尋找冰凍水的證據。它還搭載了一架被稱為 "微型新星跳躍者 "的推進式無人機。在釋放到月球表面後,這架自主無人機將跳入附近的隕石坑,並將科學資料傳回著陸器。
原文:Planet Earth hangs in the background of this space age selfie. The snapshot was captured by the IM-2 Nova-C lander Athena, just after stage separation following its February 26 launch to the Moon. A tall robotic lander, Athena is scheduled to touch down on Thursday, March 6, in Mons Mouton, a plateau near the Moon’s South Pole. The intended landing site is in the central portion of one of the Artemis 3 potential landing regions. Athena carries rovers and experiments as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, including a drill intended to explore beneath the lunar surface in a search for evidence of frozen water. It also carries a propulsive drone dubbed the Micro Nova Hopper. After release to the lunar surface, the autonomous drone is intended to hop into a nearby crater and send science data back to the lander.
