# IM-1 Mission

During the IM-1 mission scheduled for 2024, *Nova-C* will carry up to five NASA-sponsored instruments. In addition, the lander will also carry some payloads from other customers, including EagleCAM. The lander will operate for one lunar day, which is equivalent to about 14 Earth days. The planned landing site has changed several times. At one point it was to land between [Mare Serenitatis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_Serenitatis) and [Mare Crisium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_Crisium). As of February 2023, the site will be at [Malapert A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malapert_\(crater\)) near the [lunar south pole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_south_pole).

[DOGE-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge-1) and EagleCAM will be deployed as secondary payloads. The [DOGE-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge-1) payload has a mass of 40 kg and was paid for with [Dogecoin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogecoin).
