ESA’s Heracles Lunar Lander

Overview of the Heracles mission. ESA is leading an alliance of international space agencies to prepare a robotic mission to the Moon to retrieve samples and return them to Earth. The video shows a launch on an Ariane 6 rocket, separation from the rocket boosters over Earth and a transfer to the Moon. The Heracles lander will target a previously unexplored region near the lunar South Pole as an interesting area for researchers. A lander with a rover inside and ascent module on top will land there.
