About Astrobotic's Peregrine Mission One (PM1)
The Peregrine Mission One (PM1) is being launched as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative to support the Artemis Program. The lander will attempt to touch down at Sinus Viscositatis near the Gruithuisen Domes on the near side of the Moon on February 23 and Astrobotic will become the world's first private company if it is successful.
Designed to last 100 days, the lander consists of five payloads from NASA. These payloads will locate water molecules on the Moon, measure radiation and gases around the lander, and evaluate the lunar exosphere.
