During the wee hours of Christmas Eve this year, before the gift wrapping begins and the aroma of gingerbread brightens the air, a spacecraft is set to launch to the moon.  It's called the Peregrine Lunar Lander, named for the fastest flying bird on Earth. If all goes to plan, the robotic avian will zoom through space and fly into the moon's gravitational tides, then meticulously lower its orbit until eventually touching down on a region of ancient lunar lava flows known as the Bay of Stickiness, or Sinus Viscositatis.  This mission will be one for the history books for several reasons, one of which is the fact it'll be the first to launch under NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, created as a way for the agency to bring payloads to the moon without having to construct all the spacecraft necessary to bring those payloads there. In this case, the company Astrobiotic is behind the Peregrine lander and NASA's paying to stash a few things onboard.

Odysseus has a new home and brings the Earthling Project along for the ride

The moon lander Odysseus, known as Odie, touched down on the Moon's surface on February 22, becoming the first time the U.S. has landed on the Moon in more than 50 years and the first commercial moon lander to successfully land on the Moon. Along with its science payload, the spacecraft also brought along a fusion of art and space exploration, SETI Institute's Artist in Residence (SETI AIR), Felipe Pérez Santiago's Earthling Project, a collection of global musical compositions representing Earth's cultural diversity and harmony. Intuitive Machines built Odie, and a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched it. The mission is one of several NASA contracted as part of its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program.

“These recent commercial missions mark the beginning of a new chapter: humanity's permanent settlement on the moon. This leap forward requires the establishment of industries and services to support the complex infrastructure needed for lunar living. The result of this first landing signals our readiness for this challenge.” said Franck Marchis, Senior Astronomer and Director of Unistellar Citizen Science at the SETI Institute.

“Beyond the technological and scientific achievements, it is noteworthy that the mission included an artistic component, the Earthling Project, in its payload. This inclusion highlights the importance of carrying our cultural and artistic heritage into space, underscoring that our expansion into the cosmos is not just a scientific or political endeavor, but a holistic representation of humanity's collective knowledge and creativity.”

Odie landed near the Moon's south pole, where sunlight can power its solar cells and shadowed craters may hold ice water. Ice water could serve as an essential resource for future human missions to the Moon, with the potential for conversion to rocket fuel. Odie carried 12 payloads from NASA and commercial companies to conduct science activities on the Moon. These instruments collected information about the Moon to support future human missions and exploration.

Odie’s landing was not without challenges. The lander's range-finding system was inoperable and the team needed to recode Odie to use a different range-finding system to execute a safe landing. Additionally, the lander tilted on its side during landing. Nonetheless, the mission was able to collect data across all science payloads. For now,Odie is in sleep mode and Intuitive Machines will attempt to reawaken the craft in approximately three weeks when the sun hits its solar panels again.

The mission marks a milestone for the Earthling Project following a previous attempt to deliver compositions to the lunar surface as part of the Astrobiotics Peregrine mission earlier this year.

"As a composer, my journey has always been about seeking new ways to communicate and express," said Pérez Santiago. "Joining the SETI Artist in Residence Program opened a unique avenue to realize this vision, allowing me to bring together voices from across the globe into a musical narrative that speaks for humanity at this pivotal moment in our history. This collective effort, culminating in the music of the Earthling Project, sends a message of peace and unity from Earth to the cosmos."

The Earthling Project, begun in 2019, is a brainchild of Santiago in collaboration with Dr. Jill Tarter and a global team of talents and aligns with the Arch Mission Foundation's objectives. This nonprofit organization focuses on preserving human knowledge for future generations, with the Earthling Project now included in their Lunar Library—an indestructible nickel-etched archive currently residing on the Moon. The Earthling Project collected voices from 10,000 people that were used in creating the musical compositions sent with Odie.

Listeners eager to experience this historic interstellar message can stream the Earthling Project album, a testament to the collaborative spirit of hundreds around the world on Apple, Spotify, and other platforms. For a deeper dive into the project's origins, inspirations, and aspirations, the SETI Institute invites you to view the enlightening SETI Live interview with Felipe Perez Santiago and the Director of the SETI AIR program.

Astrobiotics’ Peregrine lander is 1 of the lots of in the jogging

Astrobotic Technology : The Pittsburgh-centered agency was launched in 2008 by Carnegie Mellon professor Red Whittaker. It was amid the quite a few groups that participated in Google’s $20 million Lunar XPrize, which shut down this year with no a winner.

Astrobiotic’s lunar lander, dubbed Peregrine, stands on four shock-absorbing legs and attaches to the start car by means of a normal clamp.

‘The Peregrine Lander specifically and properly provides payloads to lunar orbit and the lunar surface on every single mission,’ the business claims.

‘Payloads can be mounted higher than or under the decks, and can continue being connected or deployed according to their requires.’

Deep House Techniques: The units engineering corporation from Colorado is extended been a subcontractor to NASA and other aerospace giants, which includes Lockheed Martin. 

The company develops almost everything from designs and interface control paperwork to ground application equipment for missions. Deep House Units says it focuses on the ‘the style, growth, integration, tests and functions of science and exploration spacecraft.’

 Their lunar lander strategy is a rover that seems to element smaller sized scouting robots that can be deployed.

Draper: The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based mostly laboratory is a not-for-revenue research and progress firm. Draper develops all the things from autonomous devices and biomedical methods to units. 

Notably, Drapers accomplishments consist of a gadget that steps cabin air on the Intercontinental Space Station to test for volatile natural compounds.

The firm’s notion lander, dubbed Artemis-7, will sit on 4 mechanical legs to carry out sample collection and return.

Firefly Aerospace: Firefly confirmed off a notion for a professional start car and a lunar lander. 

Although the company hasn’t unveiled considerably depth just still, it appears to be a a few-phase method on which the lander sits at the quite prime.

Intuitive Equipment: The Houston-centered company also unveiled a strategy lander that looks much like R2D2. 

The Nova-C lander is the vital element of its Lunar Payload and Info Provider program. It is capable of 24/7 details coverage, and can keep a payload of at least 85 kg.

The business states it can land anyplace on the moon.

The Houston-based mostly business also unveiled a principle lander that appears significantly like R2D2 (still left). Firefly showed off a principle for a commercial start car and a lunar lander (right)

Lockheed Martin: The aerospace large unveiled its McCandless Lunar Lander, named soon after late NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless.

Lockheed Martin named its lunar lander immediately after late NASA astronaut, Bruce McCandless

It is ‘capable of transporting massive payloads weighing hundreds of kilograms – like stationary scientific devices, deployable rovers, or even sample return vehicles – to the surface of the Moon,’ the company claims.

‘The lander makes use of a confirmed propulsive landing approach that relies upon on-board radars and a established of rocket thrusters firing 10 periods a next to sluggish to just 5 mph just before touching down. 

‘Once on the lunar area, the lander can provide ability, communications and thermal administration for complex payloads.’

Masten Space Techniques: Masten’s XL-1 is a ‘small, one use lander’ that can carry 100-kg payload.

‘The XL-1 is built to offer you a mission period that is minimally adequate to land on the lunar surface, transmit payload activation instructions, and activate the payload release/deployment mechanism,’ the business claims.

Moon Categorical: Cape Canaveral-centered Moon Categorical was formerly pegged to acquire a fleet of lower-price robotic spacecraft that can be assembled like Legos.

The preliminary spacecraft, recognized as MX-1E,is a very similar size and shape to the R2D2 droid from Star Wars. It will hop throughout the lunar area on its legs.

Last 12 months, the company reported it hoped its ‘Harvest Moon’ expedition will choose location by 2020, like the to start with professional sample return mission, which also commences the organization phase of lunar useful resource prospecting.

Orbit Past: The New Jersey business unveiled a 4-legged principle lander that could before long be applied to provide payloads to the moon. The company has nevertheless to reveal a lot more aspects on the venture.
