  • As part of its Artemis campaign, NASA is developing a series of increasingly complex lunar deliveries and missions to ultimately build a sustained human presence at the moon for decades to come. Through the agency's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative,

The article discusses NASA's upcoming mission to study the Moon's interior using an instrument called the Lunar PlanetVac (LPV) on Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander. Scheduled for launch in 2024, this mission aims to collect and analyze lunar regolith to understand the Moon's thermal properties, composition, and potential water content. The LPV will use a pneumatic system to gently vacuum up lunar soil, which will then be examined to provide insights into the Moon's geological history and its potential resources. This mission is part of NASA's broader Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, which seeks to foster commercial delivery services to the Moon, enhancing our understanding of lunar science and supporting future human exploration.
