Masten Space Systems has selected SpaceX to launch Masten Mission One (MM1) — as part of MM1, Masten’s lunar lander will deliver nine, NASA-sponsored, science and technology demonstration experiments and several commercial payloads to the lunar south pole.

Masten’s additional capacity on its first mission to the Moon provides opportunities for commercial partners to access the resource-rich lunar south pole. If your company is interested in sending a payload to the Moon, you can learn more at www.MastenMoon.com.

Masten’s first mission to the Moon, MM1, is a collaboration with NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) Project Office. The Masten XL-1 lunar lander is scheduled to touch down on the lunar south pole in 2022, carrying a suite of NASA-sponsored scientific instruments and various payloads from commercial space customers.

“Having SpaceX’s proven launch success behind us is not only great for us, but it’s great for our customers,” said Masten CEO, Sean Mahoney. “We share a common vision with SpaceX and that makes this more than a partnership. It’s more like a dream team.”

Stephanie Bednarek

“We are thrilled to be launching Masten’s Mission One to the Moon in 2022,” said SpaceX Senior Director of Commercial Sales, Stephanie Bednarek. “SpaceX was founded upon the goal of extending humanity’s reach beyond Earth, and it’s exciting to take part in a mission with many partners who share the same vision.”
