That should soon change, driven in part by a request from NASA for small, relatively low-cost instruments and experiments that could be sent to the lunar surface in the early 2020s to conduct scientific research on the Moon. Proposals for this Lunar Surface Instrument and Technology Payloads program were due at the space agency last Monday. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
