TL;DR

Three separate missions, led by Japan's space agency JAXA, Astrobotic, and Intuitive Machines, are all set to land on the Moon in January 2024. If successful, this would make it the busiest month ever for new spacecraft arrivals on the lunar surface. Intuitive Machines' Nova-C lander is scheduled to launch between January 12-16 and touch down on the Moon's South Pole on either January 19 or 21. JAXA's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) is also expected to land on the same day, while Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander is set to launch on December 24 and land on January 25.
