LEXI Space Device for Moon Lander
LEXI (Lunar Environment Heliospheric X-ray Imager), which will take global images of the interaction of the solar wind and the Earth’s magnetic field, will be deployed and operate from the lunar surface later this year, part of the first set of landers from the United States traveling to the moon in almost 50 years.
