Team AngelicvM. Team AngelicvM is a private company based in Chile that plans to deploy a small rover on the Moon. In 2024 their rover, called Unity, was one of the various lunar rovers that were carried by the commercial  Peregrine lander. Peregrine, which was manufactured by Astrobotic Technology experienced a propellant leak after launch which led to it burning in Earth's atmosphere, never reaching the moon.

History

Team AngelicvM was created in 2010 in Santiago, Chile, with the purpose to compete for the Google Lunar X Prize. This international competition offered US$20 million for the first privately developed rover to land on the Moon, travel at least 500 meters, and transmit high-definition video and images back to Earth. Since no team was able to make a launch attempt to reach the Moon by the 31 March 2018 deadline, the Google Lunar XPRIZE went unclaimed and the competition ended without a winner, but AngelicvM plans to go ahead with the rover's development and launch.

Team AngelicvM is financed by AngelicvM Foundation (Inversiones AngelicvM); its owner and President is Gerardo Rocha-Haardt, who by 2012 had financed about US$3 million. Rocha-Haardt explained that since there is no space agency in Chile, he hopes to inspire and stimulate the private sector's participation in the outer space economy. Rocha-Haardt invited all Chilean universities to participate in the project. They were joined by the Universidad de Concepción and Universidad Austral de Chile, who are developing the rover.

AngelicvM signed a contract with Astrobotic Technology in 2015 to have their rover carried on board Astrobotic's Peregrine lander, and in July 2017, Astrobotic announced an agreement had been reached with United Launch Alliance for the launch. As of May 2018, Astrobotic's first Peregrine lander mission is reported to have 12 customers, and is planned to be launched in 2020 on an Atlas V rocket. The selected landing site is Lacus Mortis. The lander's commercial payload include Team Hakuto's rover.

Unity rover

The first rover's concept was called Dandelion. Its body was spherical of about 10 cm in diameter with a flat top and bottom. It uses two bilateral "legged" wheels for traction and it keeps upright by a pendulum.  This light traction concept was inspired by insect legs, and it was considered because that is what all insects evolved for efficient displacement on uneven surfaces. Adding some flexibility to each blade/leg, it imitates the tendon in the insect leg and holds potential energy for better traction. Preliminary tests performed in Chile's Atacama desert were reported to surpass their predicted expectations.

AngelicvM's current rover concept is a 5  kg, four-wheeled rover called Unity.

The team has 34 members, all professionals and mostly volunteers. Their transmission to Earth will be a high-definition music video that carries "a message of faith, hope, peace and unity to the World.

C1 chemistry. C1 chemistry is the chemistry of one-carbon molecules.  Although many compounds and ions contain only one carbon, stable and abundant C-1 feedstocks are the focus of research.  Four compounds are of major industrial importance: methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methanol.  Technologies that interconvert these species are often used massively to match supply to demand.

Industrial processes
Carbon monoxide and methanol are important chemical feedstocks.  CO is utilized by myriad carbonylation reactions.  Together with hydrogen, it is the feed for the Fischer–Tropsch process, which affords liquid fuels.  Methanol is the precursor to acetic acid, dimethyl ether, formaldehyde, and many methyl compounds (esters, amines, halides). A larger scale application is methanol to olefins, which produces ethylene and propylene.
 
In contrast to the situation for carbon monoxide and methanol, methane and carbon dioxide have limited uses as feedstocks to chemicals and fuels.  This disparity contrasts with the relative abundance of methane and carbon dioxide.  Methane is often partially converted to carbon monoxide for utilization in Fischer-Tropsch processes. Of interest for upgrading methane is its oxidative coupling:
 2 +  →  + 2

Conversion of carbon dioxide to unsaturated hydrocarbons via electrochemical reduction is a hopeful avenue of research, but no stable and economic technology yet has been developed.

Biochemistry

Methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methanol also are substrates and products of enzymatic processes.  In methanogenesis, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methanol are converted to methane, provided suitable reducing agents. Methanogenesis by methanogenic archaea is reversible.

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water is converted to sugars (and O2), the energy for this (thermally) uphill reaction being provided by sunlight.

Uakitite. Uakitite is a mineral found in a single meteorite on Earth, called the Uakit meteorite, that fell in the Bauntovsky Evenkiysky District, in Republic of Buryatia, Russia. It was named after the region in which it was found, .

Uakitite is composed of vanadium nitride, a chemical compound of vanadium and nitrogen with formula VN.

While the majority of the meteorite is composed of an iron and nickel alloy called kamacite, a small percentage of the meteorite contains minerals that are only found in space, including uakitite. Like other mononitrides, uakitite is estimated to be very hard, however, studying all the properties has proven difficult as the only samples are 5 micrometers in size, many times smaller than a grain of sand.

The mineral was named at the Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society. As of November 2019, the name has been recognized by the International Mineralogical Association, and is considered official.
