NASA has selected three new lunar investigations, including a payload suite led by Southwest Research Institute. The Lunar Interior Temperature and Materials Suite (LITMS) will be one of two to land on the far side of the Moon -- an agency first -- in Schrodinger's basin to study the thermal evolution, differentiation and asymmetry of Earth's closest neighbor.
