DARPA Releases Lunar Assay via Small Satellite Orbiter (LASSO) Solicitation Register for Proposers Day by May 7, 2025 at 1200 ET.
In collaboration with NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate, DARPA recently released the Lunar Assay via Small Satellite Orbiter (LASSO) solicitation. LASSO aims to enable a novel mission design and related technologies to identify the volume and location of resources available on, or just under, the surface of the Moon. The program is designed to advance U.S. commercial capabilities in cislunar space and to map probable reserves of water across the entire lunar surface through remote sensing measurements taken in a very low-altitude lunar orbit.
