launch_utc is the first instant of the published period: launch no earlier than November 2026 on Falcon Heavy, not a scheduled date; schedule_confidence 'estimate'. NASA (13 Oct 2026): the lander will 'deliver more than 1,100 pounds (455 kilograms) of cargo to Nobile Crater near the lunar South Pole'. NASA's CLPS deliveries page (last updated 6 May 2026) still names Mons Mouton, so NASA sources disagree; the newest is used. No landing coordinates or ellipse are published: landing_site is the target REGION, centred on Nobile crater's IAU centre (85.28°S, 53.27°E, diameter 79 km) with its radius as uncertainty_m; it is not a landing point. Astrobotic advertises '100 m landing accuracy' for the Griffin product line (not a mission ellipse). Carries Astrolab's FLIP rover, the BEACON CubeRover and ESA's LandCam-X.
