NASA’s Lunar Flashlight mission successfully launched on Dec. 11, 2022, to begin its four-month journey to the moon, where the small satellite, or SmallSat, will test several new technologies with a goal of looking for hidden surface ice at the lunar South Pole. The mission is characterizing its new “green” propulsion system and developing a modified plan for the briefcase-size satellite’s journey to the moon.
