NASA Science Live: Our First Commercial Science Delivery to the Moon

Future Space

For the first time in more than 50 years, new NASA science and technology instruments are operating on the Moon following the first successful delivery of the agency’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative. From a guidance system that ultimately played a key role in aiding the successful landing to an instrument aimed at observing the Moon’s surface environment in radio frequencies, the six NASA payloads will help inform future lunar missions.
