Summary

On January 8, 2024, America launched a commercial mission to the Moon. Astrobotic’s Peregrine Lunar Lander unfortunately did not make it to the Lunar Surface. Among the payloads it carried was a Carnegie Mellon University designed collaborative sculpture project that is as much a work of art as an engineering marvel. 

Mark Baskinger is the Director of the Joseph Ballay Center for Design Fusion, Product Track Chair, and a professor in the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University. Mark was one of the leads in the MoonArk project.
