The Swiss-Swedish engineering and technology company said it plans to modify its existing Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer technology to cater to the specific lunar environment and application. The instrument aims to provide data about the moon's surface composition and morphology by using infrared light to analyze the chemical composition of the soil collected by the utility rover.
