NASA is planning to fly a new scientific payload on its upcoming robotic Artemis missions to the Moon. Called DIMPLE (Dating an Irregular Mare Patch with a Lunar Explorer), this instrument can study the "hilly terrains" formed due to volcanic activity on the near side of the Moon, helping scientists understand when such regions formed and what they are made up of.
