Spacebit is a privately held UK company that is working on space data analytics tools and robotic concepts of space exploration that include AI and advanced microrobotics. The company believes in creating a commercially sustainable data and robotics business in space exploration. Its goal is to create new opportunities for industry and academia by developing infrastructure for commercial resource exploration on the Moon and beyond.

MSolo will identify low-molecular weight volatiles. It can be installed to either measure the lunar exosphere or the spacecraft outgassing and contamination. Data gathered from MSolo will help determine the composition and concentration of potentially accessible resources. It is being developed at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) students, staff, and professors collaborate with Astrobotic to develop space robotics technology. CMU is currently developing the Iris rover for Astrobotic’s inaugural lunar mission. CMU is also a subcontractor on Astrobotic’s MoonRanger lunar rover mission.

NIRVSS will measure surface and subsurface hydration, carbon dioxide and methane – all resources that could potentially be mined from the Moon -- while also mapping surface temperature and changes at the landing site. It is being developed at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California.

NMLS will use a neutron spectrometer to determine the amount of neutron radiation at the Moon’s surface, and also observe and detect the presence of water or other rare elements. The data will help inform scientists’ understanding of the radiation environment on the Moon. It’s based on an instrument that currently operates on the space station and is being developed at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Team Puli, from Hungary, will send a unique plaque for the “Memory of Mankind (MoM) on the Moon” project. The plaque contans archival imagery and texts readable with a 10x magnifier.

NSS will search for indications of water-ice near the lunar surface by measuring how much hydrogen-bearing materials are at the landing site as well as determine the overall bulk composition of the regolith there. NSS is being developed at NASA’s Ames Research Center.

PILS is a technology demonstration that is based on an International Space Station test platform for validating solar cells that convert light to electricity. It will demonstrate advanced photovoltaic high-voltage use for lunar surface solar arrays useful for longer mission durations. It is being developed at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland.

Astroscale will send the Lunar Dream Capsule which contains messages from children from around the world.

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) joins Peregrine Mission One to land a special German-built radiation detector. It will measure key radiation data on the flight to the Moon and on the lunar surface ahead of the upcoming NASA Artemis missions that will send the first woman and the next man to the Moon.

PITMS will characterize the lunar exosphere after descent and landing and throughout the lunar day to understand the release and movement of volatiles. It was previously developed for ESA’s (European Space Agency) Rosetta mission and is being modified for this mission by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and ESA.

The MoonArk, an epochal collaborative space project at Carnegie Mellon University, embodies the arts, humanities, sciences, and technologies in a set of intricately designed objects intended to spark wonderment and discovery for future generations.

SEAL will investigate the chemical response of lunar regolith to the thermal, physical and chemical disturbances generated during a landing, and evaluate contaminants injected into the regolith by the landing itself. It will give scientists insight into the how a spacecraft landing might affect the composition of samples collected nearby. It is being developed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

The Arch Mission Foundation designs, builds, delivers, and maintains curated, long-term archives that are housed in specially designed devices called Arch Libraries, or Archs (pronounced “Arks”). Archs are being developed with a variety of form factors to survive for long durations in space, as well as on the surfaces of planets, moons, and asteroids.

Per NASA: The Laser Retroreflector Array (LRA) is designed to use reflected laser light from Earth to precisely determine the location of the Peregrine 1 lander. It consists of eight 1.25-cm retroreflectors.

Astrobotic will demonstrate its standalone Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN) sensor as a payload on its first mission to the Moon. TRN will enable spacecraft to perform landings on planetary surfaces with an unparalleled accuracy of less than 100 meters. The TRN sensor is being developed under a $10 million NASA Tipping Point contract with NASA's Johnson Space Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Moog.

NDL was developed by NASA’s Langley Research Center and will determine the Peregrine spacecraft’s exact velocity and position to land on the Moon using LiDAR (light detection and ranging). NDL was developed by NASA over 10+ years for precise, safe landings on the Moon and in other challenging environments.

Elysium is providing lunar memorial services to deliver a symbolic portion of remains to the surface of the Moon.

Celestis is the first company to have successfully conducted Memorial Spaceflight Missions, the only company to have been selected by NASA to honor one of its scientists, and for more than two decades an iconic pioneer and global leader of the commercial space age.

A unique physical coin going to the Moon, loaded with 1 Bitcoin.

Lunar Mission One gives everyone on Earth the chance to make their mark on the Moon and is sending the first digital storage payload to the Moon. With submissions of footprints from all over the world, the payload supports Lunar Mission One’s “Footsteps on the Moon” campaign.

This plate includes a copy of the Genesis Block, the first block of bitcoin (BTC) to be mined. This cornerstone of the Bitcoin network provides the foundation for an ecosystem that would challenge our perception of how money is valued and managed in a digital age.

Courtesy of NASA - NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, is a mobile robot that will go to the South Pole of the Moon to get a close-up view of the location and concentration of water ice that could eventually be harvested to sustain human exploration on the Moon, Mars — and beyond. VIPER represents the first resource mapping mission on another celestial body.
