NASA is set to contribute the Neutron Spectrometer System (NSS) as part of the Lunar Polar Exploration (LUPEX) mission, aimed at locating ice on the moon.
The NSS will play a critical role in assessing the moon's South Pole, an area of interest for future human exploration due to its potential water resources.
This collaboration with international partners underscores a strategic approach to lunar exploration, focusing on the implications of water availability for sustained human presence.
