NASA's quirky new lunar rover will be the first to cruise the moon's south pole
It’s no simple feat to send a rover to space, land it on a celestial body, and get the wheels rolling. NASA has used all kinds of techniques: The Pathfinder rover landed on Mars in 1997 inside a cluster of airbags, then rolled down its landing vehicle’s “petals,” which bloomed open like a flower, to the dusty surface. Cables attached to a rocket-powered “sky crane” spacecraft dropped the Perseverance Mars rover to the Red Planet’s surface in 2021.

NASA aims to perform lunar mining trial within 10 years
NASA's Artemis missions and its upcoming lunar Gateway station project are part of its plans to establish a permanent presence on the Moon. Key to that will be the extraction of resources from the lunar surface, and NASA has already taken important steps toward mining moon soil by 2032, a scientist said today, June 28, according to a Reuters report.

The moon could have up to 297 billion tons of water stored in tiny glass beads on its surface, scientists say
Glass beads on the moon's surface may contain nearly 300 billion tons of water, which could provide a way for astronauts on future lunar missions to get water in space, a team of 28 scientists says. Prior research in the last decades has shown that there is water on the moon. But a new study published on Monday in the Nature Geoscience journal gives insight into how humans might be able to find and harvest that water.

Lockheed Martin is building a Moon-to-Earth satellite communications network
If humanity is going to have a long-term presence on the Moon, it's going to need reliable communications — and Lockheed Martin thinks it can provide that link. The company has created a spinoff devoted to lunar infrastructure, Crescent Space, whose first project is a Moon-to-Earth satellite network. Parsec, as it's called, uses a constellation of small lunar satellites to provide a non-stop connection between astronauts, their equipment and the people back home. The system will also provide navigation help.

Are telescopes on the Moon doomed before they’ve even been built?
For radioastronomers, the far side of the Moon could be the last unspoilt refuge in the Solar System. Planet Earth — and all the human-made electromagnetic noise it spews out into space — stays permanently below the horizon, so that any radio observatories positioned there would be free to observe the cosmos without interference.
