NASA's Lunar Flashlight Mission Concludes with Technological Achievements.

NASA's Lunar Flashlight mission, launched in December 2022 to test new technologies and seek out surface ice in the Moon's South Pole, has been called off after its miniaturized propulsion system failed to generate enough thrust to get into lunar orbit. Despite this setback, the mission successfully demonstrated several new technologies, including a low-power computer and upgraded radio, and tested a never-before-flown science instrument. The lessons learned from Lunar Flashlight will be used for future missions, according to NASA.
