Destination Moon (French: Objectif Lune) is the sixteenth of The Adventures of Tintin. Destination Moon is the first part of one of the four multi-book stories in the Tintin series, the other part being Explorers on the Moon (On a marché sur la Lune).
It is one of two latter-day Tintin albums (the other being The Castafiore Emerald) that is not structured as a straightforward adventure story; instead, it is an episodic sequence of events surrounding the development of a moon rocket. There is, however, a subplot involving espionage to hold the episodes together.
Tintin's friend Professor Calculus has been secretly commissioned by the Syldavian government to build a rocket ship which will fly to the moon. Tintin and Captain Haddock agree to join the expedition (even though Captain Haddock didn't want to, as usual). Upon arriving in Syldavia, they are taken to the Sprodj Atomic Research Centre (referred to simply as the Centre in the story), headed by the scientist Mr. Baxter. They are escorted by the "ZEPO", a special security force designed to protect the Centre from outsider threats. While working for Syldavia Calculus is flanked by the engineer Frank Wolff who works in the Centre and accompanies Tintin and Haddock around the facility. Prof. Calculus reveals that the Syldavian government invited nuclear physics scientists from other countries to work for the Centre, which was created four years earlier when large uranium deposits were discovered in the area. The Centre is entirely dedicated to peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Calculus heads the Centre's astronautics department since this is his primary area of expertise.
