The mission is ESA's first lunar rover and is described as the first European rover on the Moon.

It is an ESA-JAXA collaboration aboard ispace Mission 4.

ispace-Europe is the prime contractor for MAGPIE and is described as consortium leader alongside ESA.

The landing site is the lunar south pole, the launch date is 2029, and one vehicle specification is 10 Earth days.

The payload includes a drill, a volatile analyser, ground-penetrating radar, and a neutron detector.

The mission is to detect and measure water and other volatiles, and to analyse lunar subsurface geology.

MAGPIE is ESA's first lunar small mission and the first mission that is part of the Moon Explore initiative.

The facts identify MAGPIE as the first European rover on the Moon and ESA's first lunar rover.

For lunar-industry tracking, the mission combines a lunar south pole landing site with measurements of water, other volatiles and subsurface geology.

The mission also links ESA, JAXA and ispace-Europe, with ispace-Europe as prime contractor and consortium leader alongside ESA.

MAGPIE has a launch date of 2029.
