This happened on September 10, 2011, when a Delta II rocket launched NASA’s GRAIL mission (Ebb & Flow) from Cape Canaveral. The twin probes later worked together in lunar orbit to map the Moon’s gravity with incredible precision, revealing hidden structures deep beneath the surface and giving scientists new insight into the Moon’s formation. Amazing how one launch can lead to discoveries that chan
