The European Student Moon Orbiter (ESMO) project is a planned educational mini-satellite mission in the Student Space Exploration and Technology Initiative (SSETI) programme managed by the ESA Education Department. During the present Phase A Feasibility study, the ESMO spacecraft is being designed to be launched in 2011 as a secondary payload into a highly elliptical, low inclination Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) on either Ariane 5, Soyuz or EELV. From GTO, the small spacecraft would use an on-board propulsion system for lunar transfer, lunar orbit insertion and orbit transfer to its final polar orbit around the Moon. The payload consists of a narrow angle camera for lunar surface imaging, and a nano-subsatellite called Lunette for global lunar gravity field mapping.
