		<description><![CDATA[MoonLITE Mission The US space agency has described the MoonLITE mission to send a small probe to the Moon in 2013 as &#8220;inspirational&#8221;. The unmanned project involves the craft firing 4m-long darts called penetrators onto the lunar terrain. The devices would enable scientists to scratch beneath the surface of the Moon and assess geological activity. Nasa and the BNSC have produced a joint working group report which sets out plans for long-term lunar co-operation. The document picks out the MoonLITE proposal as one of the first projects that could be carried out jointly between the UK and the US. Even though the estimated cost is cheap by space exploration standards, the current state of the Science and Technology Facilities Council&#8217;s finances might make it difficult for the UK to fund its share of the mission. The STFC is responsible for much of the UK&#8217;s space exploration activities. It is cutting programmes and grants in astronomy and particle physics to try to plug an £80m shortfall in its budget.]]></description>
