The Google Lunar XPrize is a competition challenging private companies to achieve the first ever commercial moon landing.

Lab2Moon is a global challenge run by Team Indus for students to design an experiment to send to the moon on board their spacecraft. Of the 3000+ entries, LunaDome was selected as one of 8 experiments to be given a place on the spacecraft. Placed in 3^rd position, they must now raise $650k from external sponsors to qualify their experiment to be space worthy. They hope to be able to raise a proportion of the funds through crowdfunding.
