Land Your Name + Message
on the Moon!

For a limited time you can send your name & message to the lunar surface on the ILOA ILO-1 mission in 2027-2028.

ILO-1 will be mounted on the Astrolab FLEX rover lightbar, and operate on the Moon for 1+ years — broadcasting Space Calendar and messages back to Earth along with near real-time images of the celestial sky and the Moon, on a weekly basis.
