MSU Project Headed To The Moon In 2023 A lunar lander called Blue Ghost will touch down on the Earth's Moon in 2023, carrying with it a Montana State University experiment on how outer space radiation affects computers. Marshall Swearingen of MSU News reported that RadPC has already been tested in Earth orbit and on the International Space Station. NASA had earlier accepted the project as part of a payload headed toward the lunar surface, but a schedule this past week gives the Bozeman, Montana, project team some definite deadlines to put together the finishing touches. Brock LaMeres, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering professor, said, "We were doing prototyping and testing, and then overnight this announcement changed everything. It's exciting because all of a sudden we're scheduling meetings with upper-level NASA people to lay out the schedule for everything that has to happen before launch."
