   NASA has a competiotion named "AMERICAN STUDENT MOON ORBITER". ASMO is currently conceived to be a 180kg satellite in a highly elliptic Frozen Lunar Orbit (FLO), carrying scientific instruments by which the students will perform lunar exploration activities of their choosing:

   "Google LUNAR X Prize" is is a $30 million competition for the first privately funded team to send a robot to the moon, travel 500 meters and transmit video, images and data back to the Earth. My country ROMANIA is proudly represented by a team named "ARCA":
