Lunar ExoCam is a remotely deployed lunar sensor suite payload that can land within an operable ranged distance of approx. 5 – 20 m to lander. The sensor suite will enable a fully immersive 360° environmental characterization of regolith dispersion captured during the final descent of the landing craft. Ejecting and reaching the lunar surface prior to the descending vehicle, the ExoCam sensor suite is then poised to gather in-situ measurements throughout the full cycle of plume-surface interaction (PSI), utilizing various onboard instrumentation to capture and relay synchronous data over time. Following completion of the landing cycle and brief surface activity, these data are relayed via Wi-Fi back to the lander for subsequent transmission to Earth
