How is the University of Tartu, Tartu Observatory connected to the Moon? Have Estonians been to the Moon? How and for what reason do we want to study the Moon? Our engineer Mari Allik will discuss how Estonians are involved in lunar exploration, the developed Moon cameras, the lunar rover KuuPkulgur, and their journey to the Moon.
