Nova-C IM-3 & Others

Third robotic lunar landing missions by Intuitive Machine as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) Program. The Nova-C lunar lander will fly 4 payloads for NASA, including the Lunar Vertex (LVx) and Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Explorers (CADRE) rovers, and several others for commercial companies to the Reiner Gamma region of the Moon. Mission will also include Khon-1, Intuitive Machine's first relay satellite as part of their Lunar Data Network constellation.

AstroForge's third mission will feature their 200kg production vehicle, Vestri, which is designed to return to near-Earth asteroid 2022 OB5 and dock with the asteroid in space. Vestri’s insights and characterization of 2022 OB5’s composition will allow them to obtain the quality and quantity of valuable elements located on the asteroid.

Geometric Energy Corporation's DOGE-1 is a Distributed Ledger Technology and Imaging mission. It is the first mission to demonstrate Blockchain Technology beyond LEO. Geometric paid the launch contract entirely using the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. DOGE-1 is designed to demonstrate technologies that enable relay nodes for ancillary services (Comm, Data, Time, Nav) between Earth satellites, constellations, ground stations, and other lunar orbiting and landed devices. And is intended to serve as a precursor infrastructure testbed for Geometrics envisioned commercial IoT network based on Interoperable Network Communication Architectures.
