EXPERIMENT ON THE MOON
Launching in 2025
This will be the first private Moon mission from the Arab region and the second lunar mission from the United Arab Emirates.
Following the steps of the MBRSC's Emirates Lunar Mission to send UAE's first lunar rover Rashid for lunar exploration purposes and continuing with its initiatives to make space accessible to all, Orbital Space is announcing a new opportunity to send an experiment to the Moon.
The Challenge
We are seeking ideas. Propose an idea for an experiment or a test to be conducted on the moon. The experiment or test hardware must fit within a container with maximum external dimensions of 100 x 100 x 100 mm and a total mass of 200 g.
To avoid biological contamination on the Moon, biological experiments are not allowed
