LunaH-Map
LunaH-Map (Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper) was a 6U lunar CubeSat launched on Artemis I in 2022 to map hydrogen near the Moon’s south pole with a Miniature Neutron Spectrometer; a thruster-valve problem prevented its planned polar orbit, but a lunar flyby validated instrument performance before the mission ended in 2023.
