Here is a bit more information on this interesting mission.  Unlike the journeys to Pluto and Mars, it should be an easier job and faster data transmission as the moon is only 250,000 miles away:

“Lunar IceCube is a key pathfinder experiment for future small-scale planetary missions,” mission team member Avi Mandell, of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in a statement.

“I believe the future looks bright for science on cubesats, due to their fantastic versatility,” Mandell added. “Once we understand how to design these platforms, the possibilities are endless as to what we can do with them.”

Lunar IceCube is a 6U (“6 unit”) cubesat being developed by Morehead State University in Kentucky, with help from NASA Goddard and the Massachusetts-based Busek Company. One “unit” is a cube measuring 4 inches (10 centimeters) on a side; Lunar IceCube strings six of these cubesat building blocks together.

Well do you think there is water on the moon?  It sounds kind of far fetched but hey, there are some really smart people who think this is a worthy endeavor so I am content to see what they discover.
