With Lunar IceCube investigating this process, NASA can map these changes as they occur on the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Lunar IceCube will also study the exosphere\u2014the very thin atmosphere-like volume surrounding the moon. By understanding the dynamics of water and other substances on the moon, scientists will be able to predict seasonal changes for lunar ice that could impact its use as a resource in the future.<\/p>\n<p>This will all be achieved from an efficient and cost-effective CubeSat that only weighs 31 pounds. Lunar IceCube is one of several CubeSats catching a ride to the moon aboard Artemis I. These small satellites, along with future Artemis missions, will increase our knowledge for living and working on the moon and eventually Mars.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Lunar IceCube passes critical testing at NASA&#8217;s Goddard Space Flight Center\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 NASA&#8217;s moon-observing CubeSat is ready for Artemis launch (2022, August  8)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved  8 August 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-08-nasa-moon-observing-cubesat-ready-artemis.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
