On April 8, 2020, NASA selected Masten Space Systems for a mission to deliver and operate eight payloads – with nine science and technology instruments – to the Moon's South Pole in 2022. [39] [40] [41] Masten Space Systems filed for bankruptcy in July 2022; [29] [30] this led to the cancellation of Masten's CLPS mission.
Due to the success of the Apollo seismometers, several space agencies including NASA have expressed interest in funding future seismic missions to the Moon. NASA's Planetary Science Decadal Survey for 2012-2022 [13] lists a lunar geophysical network as a recommended New Frontiers mission. The mission would be tasked with enhancing the knowledge ...
The moon would have been torn apart by Saturn's tidal forces, somewhere between 200 and 100 million years ago. Up to 99% of the moon's mass would have been swallowed by Saturn, with the remaining 1% forming the rings of Saturn.
