NASA's LISTER instrument, equipped with a drilling system and thermal probe, aims to measure heat flow from the Moon's interior.
Developed by Texas Tech University and Honeybee Robotics, LISTER will penetrate three meters into the lunar regolith to measure thermal gradient and conductivity.
The measurements will help reconstruct the Moon's thermal evolution and understand its geological processes.
The data collected by LISTER will contribute to lunar geology knowledge, supporting long-term presence on the Moon under the Artemis campaign.
