8. Description Astrobotic's Peregrine Mission 1 will deliver government and commercial science payloads and instruments to the surface of the Moon. Peregrine will be delivered to a trans lunar injection orbit on a ULA Vulcan-Centaur launch vehicle. Once separated from the Vulcan-Centaur upper stage, Peregrine's trajectory will include one elliptical loop around the Earth before intersecting the lunar orbit. After the initial highly elliptical lunar capture orbit, Peregrine will enter a lower elliptical orbit where subsystem checkouts will occur. The last orbit is a 100 km circular orbit in preparation for landing. The landing site on the Moon is in the Lacus Mortis basin and the landing coordinates are 43.91 Deg. North and 25.14 Deg. East. Peregrine's X-Band communication system will be supported during all phases of the mission by NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN). DSN will receive Telecommands from Astrobotic's Mission Control Center and deliver them to Peregrine along with ranging information using an X-Band uplink. DSN will receive Telemetry and ranging signals from Peregrine's X-Band transmitter. Peregrine's mission will last up to 57 days from launch date depending on arrival of the Moon. After landing on the Moon, Peregrine will begin its surface operations phase, providing the payloads with power and communications services for attached payloads and communications services for deployed payloads. Peregrine is designed to provide the services for one lunar day, after which time the spacecraft will shut down and arrive at End of Mission (EOM).
