Awaiting clearer ideas on the future developments of the Artemis mission – and as Japan awaits the landing of its SLIM probe on the surface of the Moon, the United States has taken a new, epochal step in the exploration of our satellite. More than 50 years after the last Apollo 17 mission, a rocket has been launched from American soil towards the moon.

The race to conquer the Moon enters a new phase. From the American base of Cape Canaveral, the Cert-1 mission was launched, which for the first time aims to send a spacecraft built by a private company to the Moon. It is the Peregrine probe, built by Astrobotic, but contracted by NASA to carry 5 scientific instruments.

They will study the lunar surface before the launch of human missions later in the decade. If successful, this will be the first American mission in 51 years, since Apollo in 1972, to complete a soft landing on the Moon.

"We have sent many probes into orbit around the moon, but they have seen it from afar. This will be our first opportunity to go back and make the necessary measurements by touching the surface and seeing what's really there," says NASA expert Joel Kearns.

Peregrine is part of a host of spacecraft that will attempt to land on the lunar surface in 2024, as part of nearly 8 different projects, including from Japan and China. The spacecraft was launched from the Space Force Station's pad 41e, with the powerful Vulcan rocket, which was also built by a private collaboration between Boeing and Lockheed.

The landing of the probe on the moon is expected to take place on February 23. As the Cert-1 mission flies to the Moon, the Japanese spacecraft Slim is already in lunar orbit, and on January 19 an unprecedented high-precision landing on our natural satellite should take place.
