TL;DR Summary

NASA's Lunar Flashlight mission is still trying to get its thrusters to work properly after five months in space. The team has developed a new method to get the satellite's propulsion system up and running, with the spacecraft needing more thrust within the next few days so that it can reach its revised orbit. The Lunar Flashlight is designed to shine infrared light on some of the Moon's permanently shadowed regions, scanning the lunar South Pole for reservoirs of ice water hidden away from the Sun's light.
