After spending 45 days in space traveling, the 2 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide lander is targeted to land in the Mare Crisium region, where it will operate on the Moon’s surface for about two weeks.
NASA collaborated with the Italian Space Agency, Blue Origin, various universities and research centers to deliver science and technology to the lunar surface through the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative.
10 payloads on this mission will help advance lunar research and conduct several first-of-their-kind technology demonstrations, as well as prepare for future crewed missions to the Moon as part of the NASA broader Artemis campaign.
