Goddard spokesmen had not received a news release on the selection and could not comment.
The first mission in the series, which was undertaken by Goddard and is set to launch in 2008, is the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, in which the spacecraft will map and photograph the moon's surface, search for ice deposits and investigate space radiation, according to Mikulski's statement.
The second mission, which Goddard will now pursue and hope to launch in 2010, will be the creation of a lunar lander that will help NASA learn about landing safely on the moon and determine whether human life can be sustained there.

 Robert Goddard and His Rockets
Goddard experimented on his ballistic pendulum with various nozzle designs, using a small metal combustion chamber filled with a type of gunpowder, ignited by electricity.
Goddard communicated his results to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and asked for support to develop a rocket capable of probing the high atmosphere.
He thought stable flight could be obtained by mounting the rocket ahead of the fuel tank, with the tank shielded from the flame by a metal cone and the lines for fuel and oxygen pulling it behind the rocket: the design worked, but did not produce the hoped-for stability.
