ESA Seeks Commercial Provider to Transport Payload to the Moon

European Space Agency is soliciting a commercial provider for the lunar delivery of its NILS2 instrument, designed to measure negative ions on the Moon's surface. This follows the successful deployment of the original NILS instrument on Chang’e 6 on 1 June 2024. The initiative aims to enhance lunar surface research capabilities significantly.
