The mysteries of the universe intrigue human beings more than the ocean itself, although it is obvious that there is much to explore there. We can get a sense of this because the NASA has been preparing for some time for yet another unusual mission: to explore the hidden side of the moon. Yes, the one that is not visible from Earth.

The name of the mission is Draper SERIES-2 and it is being financed by an American company. It will cost an average of $401 million, but the team behind it promises new discoveries for the scientific world.
Under the command of the American company Draper, the mission will be in charge of transporting a set of loads with technological materials to the Schrödinger basin, a crater located behind the side that we can from the moon. The purpose of this is to study the main geophysical aspects of this side that is so little observed.
This particular site was chosen by the scientists as they consider the basin to be an important 200-mile archaeological site that could house a large amount of material for research, as this ring is known to be composed of a combination of impact melt and material volcanic.
All this can be used to analyze the composition of the materials present in the space.
The landing already has a scheduled date. It will be in the year 2025 and will focus on understanding the geophysical activity of the moon, so the magnetic and electrical properties and magnetic fields around the satellite will be analysed.
Although the mission has a lot of investment and a large number of researchers involved, the greatest challenge is to develop a communication that is able to cross the dark side of the Earth and the moon.
Some third-party companies will be contracted to develop a system that is capable of interconnecting communications between the moon and Earth. Without this signal, the investigation will be compromised, since the interaction with terrestrial research centers is of paramount importance for the research to give good results.
