Artemis 1 cubesat completes mission.

TL;DR Summary
The LunaH-Map cubesat, launched as a secondary payload on Artemis 1, may end its operations at the end of May due to a failed propulsion system. The thruster, which uses iodine as propellant, failed to fire due to a stuck valve, and efforts to free it have been unsuccessful. The mission involved mapping the presence of hydrogen linked to water ice deposits near the lunar south pole. Many of the 10 cubesats launched on Artemis 1 suffered technical problems, and some missions had to be abandoned.
