The Arizona State University team is working on a tiny spacecraft that will  collect important  information about lunar.

The Arizona State University built the CubeSat, which is a satellite with a size of about two loaves of bread that costs a fraction of the traditional NASA technology. The spacecraft is technically built to gather information on a more focused set of questions for the reason of their size limits on what they can do.

Craig Hardgrove, the chief investigator of the Arizona State University based mission called the spacecraft - LunaH-Map, due of its objective to map the distribution of hydrogen on the moon, AZ Central reported.

LunaH-Map was selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) a little less than a year ago, as one of 13 CubeSat missions to be launched in 2018.

Hardgrove stated that the space agency will get their hopes up for these very tiny spacecraft to play a vital role in space exploration and even large missions in the future.

Hardgrove also said that he and his team at ASU recently started to assemble the spacecraft. Hardgrove claimed that the communications system of the spacecraft has made progress and it will eventually fit into the satellite.

But, the CubeSat needs to survive the launch with the help of the meticulous planning of the structural engineer - Rj Amzler. Before launching the spacecraft,  Amzler needs to confirm that everything in the CubeSat is in the proper place.

On the other hand, the Arizona State University scientists' published study claimed that federal data on power-plant carbon dioxide emissions is significantly imperfect in some way, ASU Now reported.

The federal Clean Power Plan is being damaged by the inaccurate data. In which the federal Clean Power Plan is designed to strengthen the general direction of clean energy by establishing a national limit on carbon pollution produced from power plants.
