NASA’s Lunar Flashlight SmallSat Readies for Launch

The small satellite will search for water ice in permanently shadowed craters at the Moon’s South Pole, using an orbit only one other spacecraft has employed.

Tiny NASA Cameras to Watch Commercial Lander form Craters on Moon

This little black camera looks like something out of a spy movie — the kind of device one might use to snap discrete photos of confidential documents.

For humans to live far from Earth, we'll need food easily produced with minimal resources. With STTR funds, @naturesfynd & @montanastate developed a bioreactor to cultivate fungus into an edible protein. The tech will soon be tested on the @Space_Station: https://go.nasa.gov/3Vw0VZ6
