Moon Monday #221: The US is failing to explore lunar water as the principal goal of Artemis

And, countries allied with the US are facing delays in their own missions, allowing China to lead in this aspect of lunar exploration too.

[Перевод] Прибор под управлением SwRI развернут на поверхности Луны

13.03.2025, пресс-релиз Юго-Западного исследовательского института (SwRI - Southwest Research Institute) 2 марта 2025 года, всего через несколько часов после приземления на поверхность Луны на борту посадочного модуля Blue Ghost 1 компании Firefly Aerospace был активирован лунный магнитотеллурический зонд (LMS) разработанный Юго-Западным исследовательским институтом. LMS развернул пять своих датчиков для изучения недр Луны путем измерения электрических и магнитных полей. Инструмент LMS является первым внеземным применением магнитотеллурического зондирования .

From the #LPSC 'NASA Night' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns4sVQ81DiI a list of the next #CLPS missions: NASA will have more Stereo Cameras for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies (SCALPSS) on #BlueOrigin's HLS test lander. They also reported superb results from #BlueGhost with 6 of the NASA experiments already completed and the remainder being done once the hot noon is over. Not much came out of #Athena, obviously, and they're still trying to make contact with the Lunar Trailblazer - no indication of the hope level ...

Another one bites the (Moon)dust!

This is Intuitive Machines' #IM2 lander that once again toppled over after trying to land on Mons Mouton near the lunar south pole.

The picture had lots of detail hidden in the shadows which I brought out in processing.

one thing i'm kinda curious about is that we've had several commercial lunar landers tip over on touchdown, leading to an early death, and like, this feels like a solved problem with the way several Mars missions were landed with the flower petal deployment method. we just ignoring that?
