To figure it out once and for all, Briaud and his colleagues collected data from space missions and lunar laser-ranging experiments to compile a profile of various lunar characteristics.

That mission is currently scheduled to arrive at the Schrödinger Basin, close to the lunar south pole, in 2026. After touchdown, ASI will enable long-term laser ranging observations of LaRA2 by lunar ...
