The instruments and system is due to be launched later this year as an In Orbit Demonstrator (IOD). Several m-NLP will be integrated with the ERIU, and will be the first payload to be integrated on the Bartolomeo platform on Colombus module on the International Space Station (ISS).

Planned launch from Andøya Spaceport later this year, by launch provider ISAR Aerospace on their Spectrum launcher.

Launch of Rashid

EIDEL is providing a modified version of m-NLP as instrument on the rover named Rashid, a rover developed by Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center. The instrument will measure electron density in the upper layers of the Moons thin athmosphere to find a connection to how moon dust attaches to surfaces. Take a look at our article for more information on the project.

Launch is planned later this year.
