SELENE-2 /ˈsɛlᵻniː/, or the Selenological and Engineering Explorer 2, is a planned Japanese robotic spacecraft to the moon that will include an orbiter, a lander and a rover. It is expected to be launched in 2017 as a successor to the 2007 SELENE (Kaguya) lunar orbiter.
The orbiter will weigh 700 kg.
The lander will weigh 1,000 kg. It will be able to have 200 kg of payload. Its mission will last two weeks.
The rover will weigh 100 kg. Its mission will last two weeks. One of its instruments will be from South Korea.
One option JAXA was investigating in 2006, was to integrate a small data relay satellite and penetrators into the mission.
Green gardens, cold Montreal
Crooked pictures that hang in the hall
It's the golden day, golden day, gold, you recall on cue
Oooh, it's old news.
When the world revolved around you, yeah
Faculty members agreed to a certain degree
And the girl that followed the rules, yeah
Looked good on paper, but lacked a central theme
The coffee could use more cream
Friends blow away, blow away, blow like a cloud
Kids go away, go away, go, it's allowed
And all of the days spent close to your crowd were few
To the girl that followed the rules, yeah
It looked good on paper, and gave it a college try
Now the ink and her humour is dry
Friends blow away, blow away, blow like a cloud
Kids go away, go away, go, it's allowed
And all of the days spent close to her crowd are through
Oooh, it's the truth
