- The task order, awarded through the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, is worth $73 million.
- The lander, called SERIES-2 by Draper, will deliver to Schrödinger Basin three experiments to collect seismic data, measure the heat flow and electrical conductivity of the lunar subsurface and measure electromagnetic phenomena created by the interaction of the solar wind and plasma with the lunar surface.
- The mission is the eighth NASA has awarded to date as part of CLPS, but the first to go to the lunar farside.
- Because the lunar farside is out of view of the Earth, the lander will need relay spacecraft to maintain communications. Draper said in its announcement of the contract that Blue Canyon Technologies will build two satellites that the mission will deploy before landing. Advanced Space, which operates the CAPSTONE lunar cubesat mission for NASA, will support planning and operation of those satellites.
- Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Draper said April 13 that it has completed a mission architecture and requirements review and payload interface preliminary design review for its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) mission to deliver payloads to the lunar farside.
- The Draper-led team won the $73 million CLPS award, formally designated CP-12 by NASA, in July 2022 for the mission to land in Schrödinger Basin near the lunar south pole. The team includes General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems, ispace US and Systima, a division of Karman Space & Defense.
