    NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE, pronounced like "laddie") is a robotic mission that will orbit the moon to gather detailed information about the lunar atmosphere, conditions near the surface and environmental influences on lunar dust.

    The very first Minotaur V rocket successfully launched today from Wallops Flight Facility, September 7th 2013 at 03:27 UTC. The rocket carried NASA's LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) into orbit. LADEE will study the lunar exosphere and dust in the Moon's vicinity for a mission duration of 100 days.
