>Kletetschka and his colleagues suggest hydrogen and oxygen ions are driven into the moon when it passes through the tail of the Earth's magnetosphere, which it does on five days of the moon's monthly trip around the planet. The magnetosphere is the teardrop-shaped bubble created by Earth's magnetic field that shields the planet from much of the continual stream of charged solar particles.

Well now what? I could maybe make a secondary probe assembled from cubesat-sized parts stashed in another fairing, deliver a simple lander to Laythe or Eve or something idk.
