Lunar Trailblazer launched to map moon's water resources

NASA's Lunar Trailblazer successfully launched on Wednesday from Florida, riding alongside the commercial Athena lander. This orbiter will map the distribution and form of water on the moon. Previously, scientists knew the moon had some water, but the extent was unclear. Lunar Trailblazer aims to provide a comprehensive view of lunar water resources. Athena will focus on a specific area of the moon, while Lunar Trailblazer will gather global data. This mission will enhance understanding of water availability for future astronauts.
