Summary:
- NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has developed an instrument called the Lunar Radar Sounder (LRS) that will be part of Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander mission to the Moon.
- The LRS instrument is designed to study the lunar interior and provide insights into the Moon's formation and evolution by mapping the subsurface structure and composition.
- The Blue Ghost lander is scheduled to launch in 2024 and land on the Moon's Mare Crisium, where the LRS instrument will collect data on the lunar subsurface for at least 10 days, contributing to our understanding of the Moon's geological history.
