Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper CubeSat
LunaH-Map was an Arizona State University and NASA 6U lunar CubeSat launched on November 16, 2022 as an Artemis I secondary payload. It carried a Miniature Neutron Spectrometer to map hydrogen near the lunar south pole; a thruster-valve problem prevented the planned low lunar polar orbit, but a lunar flyby validated instrument performance and the mission ended in 2023.
