Many of the mission objectives express the educational aspects of the project. Of course, there are also many scientific questions that have to be answered, especially the ones related with the Lunar Prospector and Clementine data and also the enigmatic lunar environment.

In general, the LunarSAT mission objectives are: 

• Confirmation of the existence of water ice in the lunar poles.
• Determination for the suitability for a future human outpost in the South Pole.
• Characterization of the lunar environment (exosphere, Moon interaction with the solar wind, plasma dynamics etc.)
• Demonstration of new methods for executing a space mission beyond the Earth's orbit via a micro satellite.
• Provide the opportunity to young scientists and engineers from across Europe to involve with a real space mission.
• Provide the opportunity to more than 50000 students across Europe to study astronomy, space science through the LunarSAT mission and also stimulate interest in space exploration.
