The first thing that went into my Moonkit was my camera. Some of the most iconic photographs ever taken were captured on the surface of the Moon by NASA astronauts. The camera has to go. The hat and sunscreen will be a must to protect me from the unfiltered sunlight. Warm socks? Of course, my feet are always cold. A little “Moon Music” and a photo of Holly, the best dog in the world, will pass the time during breaks. Lastly, I need to eat. Water and gummy peach rings will pack in a small corner of my pack.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Astrotech Payload Processing Facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base, workers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and Ball Aerospace from Boulder, Colo., lower a 'hat' toward the CloudSat spacecraft before conducting the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) functional tests. The hat is used to absorb the RF radiation that is emitted by the instrument during the test. CloudSat will fly in combination with the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) to provide never-before-seen 3-D perspectives of how clouds and aerosols form, evolve, and affect weather and climate. CALIPSO and CloudSat will join three other satellites to enhance understanding of climate systems. The launch date for CALIPSO_ CloudSat is no earlier than Aug. 22.

I may not always pack light, but I tried to only pack the essentials, with a couple of goodies. I get cold fairly easily hence the blanket, extra NASA shirt, hat and gloves. No trip is complete without my favorite snack of almonds, water, sunglasses, Chapstick, phone and my headphones to listen to some music. I figured I could bring my yoga mat, because who wouldn’t want to do yoga on the moon?? The most important part of this kit is my camera! I brought a couple of different lenses for a variety of options, along with a sports action camera, notebook and computer for editing. The Van Gogh doll was just for fun!
