The MoonRanger project is being led by William "Red" Whittaker, director of the CMU's Field Robotics Center. This is the third lunar research mission awarded to Whittaker by NASA since June of this year.
The new rover will be about the size of a suitcase and weigh roughly 24 lb (11 kg), though it will be very fast as rovers go and enjoy a high degree of autonomy as it makes detailed 3D maps of the lunar terrain. Because the MoonRanger is too small to send radio signals directly to Earth it will gather data independently and then upload it to the Astrobotic lander, which will deliver the rover to the surface. The lander will then relay the data to mission control.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

Instead they should figure why everyone dreams have increased and yawning almost completely ceased. Did covid kill the brain cells responsible for the yawning urge?
Even when we try to yawn and open our mouths no yawn comes out. Some breath or sound might but not a real yawn.

That's because of the Skittles, no relation with covid.
