In this article two twin satellites fly away from each other. Grail-A and Grail-B fly away from each other around the orbits of the moon. There mission is to calculate the distance between Earth and moon. Both of the satellites engines burned and that's why the NASA satellites got separated. In conclusion, two NASA satellites left each other.


I think this article is very important, Since this incident could effect the calculation accuracy of the distance between Earth and moon. This interested me because I like learning more about space. This incident is important to NASA because these twins could brake. I think this article was written because this incident is important.

  3. So, did they find out how far they were apart? You mentioned that both satellites engines got burned. So, did they mean for the satellites to go away from each other?
