  2. For a craft that most of its builders build for a near vacuum environment, LADEE is sure quite aerodynamic (like the Apollo Command and Service Module). Its periodical plunge into low altitude, is to reduce the amount of drag the craft may experienced in the Moon's atmosphere (explained in 2:00). | Nevertheless, we congratulate ARC for a successful mission and may the data gained will be put into good use for the future.
