Researchers have developed a compact X-ray telescope designed to orbit the Moon. This innovative technology could provide insights into the Moon's chemical makeup that have previously been unattainable.
Mission simulations indicate that this telescope could effectively gather data necessary for a complete chemical map of the lunar surface.
If successful, this project could significantly enhance our understanding of the Moon's geology and its formation, contributing to broader space exploration efforts.
