'In their letter, the LEAG members advocated for keeping the Resource Prospector as part of the human exploration program. '
'They say the mission is vital both to human exploration and to scientific understanding of the moon. ', "That would have created a “mismatch” between the science program's capabilities and what Resource Prospector was designed to do, Neal said."
'Months after President Trump signed a directive ordering NASA to return astronauts to the moon, the space agency has canceled its only lunar rover currently in development. '
'Neal, who is not directly involved in developing the mission, said he did not know the reason for the cancellation. '
