NASA’s IM-2 Mission Brings Ice Mining, Mobile Robots, and More on Moon
NASA is launching IM-2, the second lunar mission under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, to explore the Moon’s South Pole. The Nova-C lander, built by Intuitive Machines, will carry groundbreaking technologies, including an ice-mining drill, a mobile hopping drone, and a lunar 4G network. These innovations will help scienti...
