Next up, Athena lunar lander March 6

This giraffe sized lander will set down near Marston crater at the lunar South Pole. It's payload includes a 3' drill that will dig for ice, a mass spectrometer to analyize the regolith, a rover to extend the mission reach and provide comm uplink, and a micro hopper robot with a three mile range that will jump into the crater and search for ice.

This is a big mission. I'm really hoping this one goes well.
