In-Situ Studies of the Lunar Water Cycle Using a CLPS-Delivered Ion-Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS)Characterize the lunar exosphere from the surface after descent and landing, and throughout the lunar day, to understand the release and movement of volatile species. Leverage the PROSPECT program and develop the ITMS as a standalone mass spectrometer suitable for commercial lunar landers. PITMS will consist of a PROSPECT-derived ITMS sensor and front-end electronics, newly developed controller and power supply boards, and a GSFC wrapper. Lander-friendly: low resource (<2 kg, 4-8 W), simple interfaces, passive, landing site agnostic.
