NASA announced in July its intent to cancel the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) mission.
The agency cited cost and schedule overruns and concerns of additional costs and delays in its launch.
NASA didn't specify how many missions would be affected if VIPER continued, either in announcement or public events.
VIPER ’s instruments will be used on future Artemis missions and JAXA rover.
VIPER 's decision to cancel VIPER has been sharply criticized by both scientists and advocates of space commercialization.
NASA also said it would consider flying VIPER instruments on the Lunar Terrain Vehicle ( LTV ).
