Astrobotic Griffin-1

Griffin-1 is a medium-class lander designed for ease of payload integration. Currently scheduled to fly no earlier than Q4 2025. Astrobotic will be using SpaceX's Falcon 9 Heavy to launch the spacecraft. On it are a myriad of NASA as well as many commercial payloads as part of NASA's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services).

Delivered Payloads to Lunar Landers

The first library on another celestial body. The lander lost telemetry and crash landed on the moon with the NanoFiche deck possibly survived.

2nd ArchMission Library to the Moon. The lander developed a valve leak and reentered Earth's atmosphere after circling the moon.

The most amount of documented human knowledge was successfully deposited safely on the moon surface via the Odysseus lander.

Touched down successfully on the Moon on March 2, 2025 carrying a LifeShip pyramid containing NanoFiche plates.

En Route to the Moon. Expected landing attempt on June 6th 2025 carrying a private UNESCO NanoFiche that preserves linguistic and cultural diversity.

Intuitive Machines Odysseus

The lander is resting on the side on the Moon, but the NanoFiche payload is facing up to the universe.

Astrobotic Peregrine

Curated by the Arch Mission, this package aimed at returning Buzz Aldrin back to the moon after 50 years.

SpaceIL Beresheet

The very first analog library designed to last on the moon. Many reference books and a snapshot of the Wikipedia. The package landed hard but believe to have survived.
