Summary:
- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has requested proposals for a lunar orbiter mission to search for and map water resources on the Moon.
- The goal of this mission is to identify potential sources of water that could be used to support future human exploration and activities on the lunar surface.
- Identifying and understanding the distribution of lunar water resources is a critical step in enabling sustainable human presence on the Moon, as water can be used for drinking, agriculture, and even fuel production.
