Send your messages and memories to the moon

The TrailBlazer is a commercial mission, not substantially supported by government funds. We want to do for the Moon what Jacques Cousteau did for marine exploration, to go, to see, sell the images as content and repeat it again and again. In the process, we hope to have some fun as well as helping to open up a new world for humankind.
Following are products for sale that will be produced by the TrailBlazer mission. Some products are returned to Earth, others are carried to the moon. For further information on each item, please select the appropriate button above.

TransOrbital's TrailBlazerTM lunar imaging spacecraft will be the world's first commercial mission to the Moon. After returning unique still and motion images of the Moon, the Earth, and the voyage, TrailBlazer will end its travels by impacting on the Moon's surface. A specially hardened time capsule in TrailBlazer containing messages and memorabilia will remain on the Moon's surface as a permanent message to the future.
Join us by sending your thoughts, dreams, and images to the Moon.

Hi-Res Lunar Atlas

The TrailBlazer Lunar Atlas The premier product from the TrailBlazerTM mission will be a high-resolution lunar photographic atlas. The imagery will be taken from a lunar-polar orbit, using the spacecraft's high-resolution color sensors. The spacecraft will be placed in orbit just inside of the terminator so as to obtain optimal shadow relief of surface features. The atlas will be delivered on CD-ROM and will be priced very affordably. More details will be available shortly.
For more information, please e-mail us at Information@transorbital.net.


Imagery

In addition to the lunar atlas, TrailBlazerTM will be taking substantial amounts of motion and still imagery during its mission from launch to impact. This video is available for use as content for advertising, entertainment, and website portal content. Particular opportunities available include:
  • Video of the entire flight, from TLI booster separation following launch, through lunar orbit capture. This video will include a reprise of the famous "Big Blue Marble" shot of the Earth receeding as the spacecraft leaves Earth orbit and the approaching Moon.
  • Earthrise: A defining video image for the New Millennium. The spacecraft will capture a reprise of the famous Apollo image of the blue and white Earth rising over the stark limb of the moon.
  • Low-altitude, high-speed video. Following the mapping orbits during which the imagery for the lunar atlas will be gathered, the spacecraft will be commanded into very-low-altitude orbits in an effort to gather very high resolution video. During these passes, we will endeavor to photograph areas of special interest, including American Apollo and Russian landing sites.
  • Final de-orbit video, up to moment of impact. At the conclusion of the mission, the TrailBlazerTM spacecraft will be commanded to impact in a known location. The impact will be set up in such a way that the final "barnstorming" video down nearly to the time of impact will be returned.
