Promoted by ESA Business in Space Growth Network (BSGN), the Argonaut Mission 1 Payloads Day will take place on 17 April 2026 at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC), Cologne.<\/p>\n

Argonaut Mission 1 is focused on demonstrating Europe\u2019s end\u2011to\u2011end capability to land on the Moon\u2019s south polar region (near side), with a target launch date in 2030. The mission aims to also deploy and operate two technology demonstrator payloads:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Robotic Surface Mobility Asset (RMSA)<\/strong> will explore the area around the landing site, support the deployment of other payloads, host scientific instruments, and test technologies for mobility and night survivability needed for future lunar exploration.<\/li>\n
  2. The Moon Robotic Payload (MRP)<\/strong> will flight-demonstrate robotics technologies for future European lunar missions, gain operational experience, and support upcoming missions and objectives in line with the Lunar Exploration Roadmap.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Participants will receive an overview on procurement approach, mission and payload requirements, selection procedures, and the potential for opportunistic science linked to both payloads.<\/p>\n
