Manned missions do it quicker: 3 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes. Next up, the Apollo missions in comparison were fairly quick to reach the Moon. The Apollo 11 astronauts were launched atop a huge Saturn V multi-stage rocket on July 16th 1969 from Kennedy Space Centre and sent quickly on their way.

Before beginning the technical aspect of this project, you will need to do a hands-on demonstration. During Module 2 you found circumference of the Earth at the Equator is just over 40,000 km. The average Earth-Moon distance is about 385,000 km, which is about 9.5 times the circumference. To make a quick scale model of this system, you will need a globe and a ball about a quarter of it's diameter to represent the Moon. Then, 1  Take a string and wrap it around the globe's equator about 9.5 times.

The average distance from the earth to the moon is about 238900 miles, but since the moon's orbit is not circular, it varies considerably during each month. At perigee, … the moon is only 221500 miles from earth; at apogee, 252700 miles. 6 people found this useful. 4 Jays. 1,270,696 Contributions.

The ESA SMART-1 lunar probe was launched on September 27th 2003 and used a revolutionary ion engine to propel it to the Moon. SMART-1 slowly spiralled out from the Earth to arrive at its destination one year, one month and two weeks later on November 11th 2004. SMART-1 may have been slow, but it was by far the most fuel efficient. The craft used only 82 kg of xenon propellant for the entire mission (ending with a lunar impact in 2006).

(An AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles). The table below lists the distance of each planet from the Sun in AU. To find the distance between the orbits of two planets in AU, subtract the two planet-Sun distances.

To this end, I’ll give a quick rundown from slowest to fastest flights to Earth’s natural satellite 380,000 km away. Slowest: 1 year, 1 month and 2 weeks. The slowest mission to fly to the Moon was actually one of the most advanced technologies to be sent into space.

It was taken at a distance of 3,563,735 kilometer s (more than 2 million miles) on April 19, 2001 as the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft left the Earth. From this distance and perspective the camera was able to acquire an image that directly shows the true distance from the Earth to the Moon.

Note: The actual Earth-Moon distance ranges from about 360,000 to 405, 000 kilometers, depending on the position in the Moon's orbit. To complete this activity you will need to download the Earth-Moon Distance image. The above image is linked to a larger one, so take the link to the larger image, then download.

The Chinese Chang’e 5 test vehicle captured this extraordinary view of Earth over the far side of the moon on October 28, 2014. From Earth on this date, the phase of the moon was a waxing crescent. From the moon that day, the Earth was in a waning gibbous phase. Mare Moscoviense – one of the very few lunar maria on the lunar far side, 277 kilometers / 127 miles wide – is visible in the image near the center of the lunar far side. Tsiolkovskiy Crater with its dark lava flooded floor – 180 kilometers / 112 miles wide – is visible to the lower left on the far side of the moon. The Chinese Chang’e 5 spacecraft, which is testing lunar sample return technology, has rounded the lunar far side and is now on the return leg of its journey to the moon.

Our moons average distance from the Earth is 238,854 miles (384,399 km). However the Moon's orbit is elliptical and the distance therefore varies during its orbit though, fr … om around 252,088 miles (405,696 km) at its furthest (Apogee) to 225,622 miles (363,104 km) at its closest (Perigee).
