Peregrine
PAYLOAD CAPACITY - TLI (Trans Lunar Injection)
The lander-Earth connection uses X-Band range for uplink and downlink space communications.
The lander-payload connection is provided via Serial RS-422 or SpaceWire for wired communication throughout the mission. Following landing, a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN modem enables wireless communication between the lander and deployed rovers on the lunar surface. Peregrine lander relays payload telecommands and telemetry in near real-time.
PAYLOAD CAPACITY - TO ORBIT
100 kg
Peregrine lander will carry a diverse suite of scientific instruments, technologies, mementos, and other payloads from six different countries, dozens of science teams, and hundreds of individuals.
