The program is working to\nput 2 landers on the moon in the 2012-2014\ntime frame.\n\nHere are some excerpts from a Request for\nInformation by NASA regarding instruments\nfor its International Lunar Network (ILN).\nPay special note to the mass and power\nlimits.\n\nIs this what we are talking about putting a\ntransponder on?\n\n73, Armando, N8IGJ\n\n******\n\nDate Released: Tuesday, November 18, 2008\nSource: Goddard Space Flight Center\nNASA Solicitation: Instruments for U.S. International\nLunar Network (ILN) Lunar Missions\n\n\nDescription of Anticipated Requirement\n\nNASA expects to emplace the first two nodes (the \"anchor\"\nnodes) of the ILN in the 2012-2014 timeframe with two\nadditional nodes to be emplaced roughly two years later,\ndepending on funds availability. All nodes will carry\nidentical core instrument payloads. The ILN mission requires\nlong lived instruments which can be operated as a network\nfor six years (the anchor nodes will necessarily have to last\nlonger). It is anticipated that a very small amount of power\nwill be available to enable continuous operation through\nthe lunar night.\n\nConcept studies for the spacecraft are now under development\nat NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center working with the\nApplied Physics Laboratory (APL) of The Johns Hopkins\nUniversity. The mission will be tightly constrained in both\nmass and power. It is expected that the total available mass\nfor all payload instruments will be approximately 15 kg,\nalthough the precise mass available for the payload will\ndepend on the launch vehicle and other trades still being\nconsidered. The total available payload power will be\napproximately 15 W.\n\nThe total budget for the ILN anchor nodes including\ndevelopment and operations is $200M. Schedule and budget\nconstraints require that NASA mission planners focus on\nrelatively mature instruments.\n\n******\n\nSee the following links for more info:\n\nhttp://www.moontoday.net/news/viewsr.html?pid=29834 (The full Request for \nInformation)\n\nhttp://iln.arc.nasa.gov/welcome (General info on ILN)\n\n\nhttp://lunarscience.arc.nasa.gov/file_download/26/ILN+Final+Report.pdf \n(Detailed info\non ILN...
