Heliospace delivered two key systems to the mission:
A 120-foot low-frequency antenna that deployed flawlessly from the lander, enabling groundbreaking radio science.
A novel, compact deployable boom for a lunar magnetometer, which also performed flawlessly on the Moon.
Both systems were engineered to survive the rigors of space, deploy in a harsh lunar environment, and provide reliable performance—and they delivered.

The S&P 500 Index had been up nearly 1 percent after the first four days of trading this week. Israel’s attacks on strategic targets in Iran followed by Iran’s counterattack changed the narrative as the selloff Friday wiped out those gains sufficiently to throw that benchmark into negative territory for the week. It can be argued that where some investors were concerned, the market had been on too much of a run not sufficiently supported by stock market fundamentals to support such lofty valuations. Given this perspective, any excuse for a sell-off was a good one for nervous investors. Most analysts, however, think that Friday’s jitters were more directly a product of the added uncertainty brought by air strikes that may be a prelude to greater global conflict or perhaps even war.
