On Feb. 26, Physics Associate Professor and
Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology (LoCSST) researcher Tim Cook discussed the possible reasons behind the failure last year of a NASA probe called Lunar Trailblazer that sought to map the water on the moon. The story was syndicated and aired on more than 140 stations across the country. The article was entitled
"NASA lost a lunar spacecraft one day after launch. A new report details what went wrong"
