Yes Exactly! We need to form a proposal team that can evaluate the data to find out if an EME-Repeater is viable. Time is short. First ask Experts if building a transponder for the Moon is feasible with current technology. If it were, How many Amateur radio operators would be able to afford

Hi Miles, Since the rest of us on this BB don't have any details about the landers, it would be useful if you could get a copy of any RFP (request for proposal) and find out how much DC power will be available for how long, how much weight and surface area could be allocated for the package and
