NASA has announced that it will buy data from lunar landers, an effort that seems tailor made for competitors in the Google Lunar X Prize. NASA ANNOUNCEMENT NASA has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to purchase specific data resulting from industry efforts to test and verify vehicle capabilities through demonstrations of small robotic landers. The purpose is to inform the development of future human and robotic lander vehicles.https://parabolicarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/moon_wires.jpg
