LunaH-Map's primary objective was to map the abundance of hydrogen down to one meter beneath the surface of the lunar south pole.It was intended to be inserted into a polar orbit around the Moon, with its periselene located near the lunar south pole, initially passing above Shackleton crater. [1]
Lunar Trailblazer is a planned small (class D) lunar orbiter, part of NASA's SIMPLEx program, that will detect and map water on the lunar surface to determine how its form, abundance, and location relate to geology. [3] Its mission is to aid in the understanding of lunar water and the Moon's water cycle.
The plan was to build a constellation of eight micro-satellites to be launched simultaneously in a single launch vehicle [9] into low Earth orbit, [7] [10] at 500 km altitude. [11] The program was scheduled to launch December 12, 2016, and then observe two hurricane seasons.
Lunabotics 1 Lunabotics 2 Lunabotics 3. NASA's Lunabotics Challenge. Since 2010, NASA’s Lunabotics competition has provided college students from around the country an opportunity to engage with the NASA Systems Engineering process to design and build a robotic Lunar excavator capable of mining regolith and icy regolith simulants.
Students traverse a simulated crater in a moonbuggy they designed and built themselves. The NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge, prior to 2014 referred to as the Great Moonbuggy Race, is an annual competition for high school and college students to design, build, and race human-powered, collapsible vehicles over simulated lunar/Martian terrain.
This map shows the tracks of all tropical cyclones which formed worldwide from 1985 to 2005. The map was created with the WPTC track map generator by Nilfanion.. The track map generator program generates a track map from the NHC HURDAT data, [A 1] or from Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) B-deck data files (commonly referred to as "best track" files).

The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space is a 1976 book by Gerard K. O'Neill, a road map for what the United States might do in outer space after the Apollo program, the drive to place a human on the Moon and beyond. It envisions large human occupied habitats in the Earth-Moon system, especially near stable Lagrangian points.
