LunEx-1 to Fly to the Moon Aboard Astrobotic’s Griffin Lunar Lander

LunEx-1, the Launch Pad Network’s first ever mission to space, is set to embark on a journey to the Moon later this year aboard Astrobotic’s Griffin Mission 1 (GM1) lunar lander and TLP is inviting everyone to join the mission.

Join The Mission

Individuals can submit their names at https://tlpnetwork.com/lunex1 to be carried aboard a nano memory card that will be loaded onto the Griffin Lunar Lander and flown to the moon.

Participants also have the opportunity to "upgrade their payload" and for a small fee of $5, participants can include a photo of their choice, or for $15, can include a video message to be forever preserved on the lunar surface.

The Lunar Lander

LunEx-1 will fly aboard Astrobotic's first ever Griffin Lunar Lander as part of the Griffin Mission One (Griffin-1).

Griffin is a versatile medium-class lander designed to carry various rovers and large payloads. Equipped with autonomous sensor systems, it ensures safe and accurate landings on rugged or hazardous terrain.

Initially set to carry NASA’s 450 kg VIPER rover, which was canceled in 2024, Griffin-1 will now carry Astrolab's FLIP (FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform) which is set to test and demonstrate essential technologies and systems critical for Astrolab’s larger FLEX rover.

The Rocket

LunEx-1 will launch as part of the Griffin-1 mission from historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.

LunEx-1 is more than just a mission to the moon; it represents the potential of human exploration and discovery. It is a step towards a new era of space exploration. The mission will serve as a symbol of human ingenuity and determination to explore beyond Earth.
