First US lunar lander in more than 50 years rockets toward moon with commercial deliveries
Monday, 8 January 2024 Astrobotic Technology's lander, carried by United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket, is on its way to the moon in a race with a Houston company. Astrobotic aims to be the first private business to land on the moon, while the Houston company plans to take a more direct path. NASA provided funding for both companies to build and fly their lunar landers. SpaceX will also provide a lift for another lander from Intuitive Machines next month. Astrobotic's Peregrine lander is carrying various payloads, including the ashes and DNA of deceased space enthusiasts.
