Launch: 2024-02-15. Landing: 2024-02-22.
The lander tipped at touchdown and worked for about a week. RFMG worked inside the lander's propulsion system; NASA counts it among its six payloads. NASA's press kit gives six payloads from other customers. Two are left out as art or archives: Jeff Koons' Moon Phases, and the Lunaprise capsule with the Arch Mission Foundation's Lunar Library (per Wikipedia).
