ASU Team Makes Finals In NASA Moon Probe Competition
ASU Luminosity Lab members calibrate the Variable Exploratory Lunar Observation System (VELOS). Students from Arizona State University's Luminosity Lab are one of eight teams to reach the final round of NASA's 2020 BIG Idea Challenge, a competition to create a system for studying permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) at the moon's poles. Scientists think lunar PSRs, which receive no sunlight due to their orientation, may hold ice that could provide water or rocket fuel to support human exploration. To study them, NASA needs something cheap, light and able to withstand temperatures colder then ...
