True, lesser gravity is conducive to higher levels of yeet. However, the moon still has a significant gravity field, one powerfull enough that without propulsion it would be impossible to send materials into it's own orbit, much less it's parent's orbit. From what I've understood, Kumia's moon is comparable in size to it's real-life counterpart, but a bit closer to the planet it orbits than our Moon is to Earth. The more significant results of this should be turbulent tides and clear signs of coastal erosion, but this is not explicitly shown in the novel, so we'll propose for now that Kumia's moon is smaller (and hence has lower mass). Even then, the effects of gravity are significant enough that launching anything into space would still require a great force, which we're sure that Lith cannot provide without investing HEAVILY into the object's materials (even if just so it does not suddenly blow up from stress). And all this while ignoring the mountains of calculations he'd need to perform to properly set the surveilance units into orbit. TL;DR: No.
KylarVanDrake:only if you dont have a moon base to drop them off off. Less gravity is your friend
