Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The next six months will see up to half a dozen missions attempt to land on the Moon. The three primary drivers in the renewed interest in the Moon include the discovery of water on the Moon in the 1990s and early 2000s, the rise of China's space program, and private companies looking to exploit resources on the lunar surface. This article provides a rundown on what to expect from the upcoming Moon missions. The missions include Chandrayaan-3 in July, Luna 25 and SLIM in August, IM-1 sometime in the third quarter of this year, Peregrin Mission One in the fourth quarter, and IM-3 near the end of the year.
