We present muon spin relaxation and ~1H NMR results on the magnetically frustrated keplerate molecule {Mo_(72)Fe_(30)}, aimed at studying the local spin dynamics as a function of temperature. We find that, in common with other molecular magnets, the relaxation spectrum of this material is characterized by a single dominating electronic correlation time t. Experiments and theory show that t has a thermally activated behavior with an activation gap of the order of the energy difference between the lowest-lying rotational bands in this material. This shows that, in the intermediate temperature range just above 1 K, the relaxation of the electronic spin system occurs via Orbach processes involving energy levels belonging to the two lowest-lying rotational bands. Our data thus provide an experimental estimate of the first interband gap.
