NASA announced the selection of three new science investigations to fly as payloads to the lunar surface under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative and the Artemis campaign, with deliveries planned no earlier than 2028 by American companies. The selected payloads are: 1) EMILIA-3D (Emission Imager for Lunar Infrared Analysis in 3D), which will create 3D thermal models of lunar terrain using a thermal imager and stereo visible-light cameras to improve understanding of regolith properties and support better imaging and navigation. 2) LISTER (Lunar Instrumentation for Subsurface Thermal Exploration with Rapidity), which will drill below the surface and measure temperature and thermal conductivity to determine lunar interior heat flow and improve understanding of the Moon’s thermal history. NASA noted a previous LISTER version flew on Blue Ghost Mission 1, taking eight measurements and drilling to about three feet. The principal investigator is Seiichi Nagihara (Texas Tech University). 3) SELINE (Site-agnostic Energetic Lunar Ion and Neutron Environment), which will study radiation at the lunar surface from primary galactic cosmic rays and secondary particles and how they interact with regolith, informing space weather preparation and long-term human exploration safety. The principal investigator is Drew Turner (Johns Hopkins University). NASA said these investigations are site-agnostic and will be assigned to specific CLPS delivery task orders later. The agency described CLPS as a way to send instruments and technology demonstrations to advance science, exploration, and potential commercial development, while supporting a steady cadence of lunar deliveries and a growing lunar economy.
