Launched in 2003, SMART-1 was the first European spacecraft to travel to and orbit the Moon. Short for Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology, SMART-1 used ion propulsion to journey to the Moon, tested new techniques in communications and navigation, and carried a battery of miniaturised scientific instruments. It completed a comprehensive inventory of key chemical elements in the lunar surface, mapped impact craters, studied the volcanic and tectonic processes that shaped the Moon, and investigated sites for future exploration.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SMART-1 Impact Site on the Moon &#8220;On the morning of 3 September 2006, a brief flash illuminated the Moon&#8217;s &#8216;Lake of Excellence&#8217; as ESA&#8217;s SMART-1 mission met its fate on the dusty surface.
