Evening View of LADEE's Gantry! This image shows an evening view gantry at Pad 0B at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Va., on Sept. 4, 2013. In this photograph, the gantry surrounds the Minotaur V rocket that will launch NASA LADEE.
The gantry is now removed and the Minotaur is getting ready to launch LADEE at 11:27 p.m. EDT tonight.

LADEE Ready for Launch! NASA is making final preparations to launch a moon probe tonight at 11:27 p.m. EDT from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Watch it live at: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv
The small car-sized LADEE is a robotic mission that will orbit the moon to gather detailed information about the structure and composition of the thin lunar atmosphere and determine whether dust is being lofted into the lunar sky. A thorough understanding of these characteristics of our nearest celestial neighbor will help researchers understand other bodies in the solar system, such as large asteroids, Mercury, and the moons of outer planets.

Water on the moon! More lunar images to get you excited for tonight’s LADEE probe launch. LADEE is scheduled to lift off at 11:27 p.m. EDT on a mission to study the atmosphere of our cosmic neighbor.
NASA-funded lunar research has yielded evidence of water locked in mineral grains on the surface of the moon from an unknown source deep beneath the surface. The findings were published Aug. 25 in Nature Geoscience. Using data from NASA’s Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument aboard the Indian Space Research Organization’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, scientists remotely detected magmatic water, or water that originates from deep within the moon’s interior, on the surface of the moon. Pictured is the central peak of Bullialdus, which has significantly more hydroxyl — a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom, rising above the crater floor with the crater wall in the background.

The moon from the space station! More Instagram Moon Day posts in honor of tonight’s LADEE lunar probe launch at 11:27 p.m. EDT. You can watch it live on NASA TV: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv
Photographed by the Expedition 28 crew aboard the International Space Station, this image shows the moon at center with the limb of Earth near the bottom transitioning into the orange-colored troposphere, the lowest and most dense portion of the Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere ends abruptly at the tropopause, which appears in the image as the sharp boundary between the orange- and blue-colored atmosphere. The silvery-blue noctilucent clouds extend far above the Earth's troposphere.
