The Lunar Payload Delivery Service delivers payloads to TLI, lunar orbit, lunar surface and on surface mobility.
-
1. NOVA-C
Delivery
Nova-C is a lunar lander designed by the private company Intuitive Machines to deliver small commercial payloads to the surface of the Moon.
- Landed Payload capacity 130kg
- Ability to deploy 375 kg (100 km circular lunar orbit)
- Ability to deploy up to 1,000 kg into a 185km x 380,000 km TLI orbit
2. LUVMI-X
Mobility
The Lunar Volatiles Mobile Instrumentation (LUVMI) rover family provides a smart, low mass, innovative, modular and extendable platform designed to accommodate payloads and provide payload mobility on the Moon.
- Maximum all up mass 50-80kg depending on configuration and mission
- Maximum payload mass 25-40kg depending on configuration and mission
- Range 10+km
- PSR capable
3. micro-NOVA Hopper
Rugged Locations
A deployable robotic hopper to provide scientific instrument access to extreme environments on the lunar surface. This system reuses Nova-C landing instruments as part of a detachable micro spacecraft.
- 25km range
- 1kg payload (or with shorter range, this can be expanded to 8kg)
