Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Peregrine mission one aims to put a US lander on the moon on February 23. It is the first mission to fly under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPs) initiative. The mission will carry five NASA payloads and 15 others. It is bound for an ancient lava flow called Sinus Viscositatis, or the Bay of Stickiness. The next mission under the CLPs scheme is due to launch in mid-February and may touch down before Peregrine.
