Default Moon Express Aims for Multiple Lunar Landings, Sample Return MissionBy 2020

"Last month, Popular Mechanics covered the exciting prospect of the first ever
commercial moon landing, which could launch by December 2017 if everything goes
according to plan. That mission involves Moon Express, a company that hopes to
build a number of commercial lunar landers, and Rocket Lab, a launch vehicle
company that recently conducted its first flight test of the Electron rocket.

Yesterday, Moon Express unveiled design details for its lunar spacecraft at a
hearing held by the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. The company is
planning three missions to the moon by the end of 2020, with the ultimate goal of
establishing a permanent station near the moon's south pole and returning lunar
samples to Earth. Moon Express has revealed a number of spacecraft designs to help
it achieve its various goals. The first up is the MX-1E, which is the small craft
designed to launch on the Electron rocket and land on the moon later this year."
