NASA's Lunar Flashlight, a 14kg CubeSat, will help find unseen water ice on the Moon. It is the first mission to use a four-laser reflectometer to look for water in the permanently shadowed regions at the Moon's south pole. The CubeSat will take off on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 3:37 am ET (2:07 pm IST) today.
