Private companies race to land uncrewed mission on the moon On Monday, an unmanned lunar lander will launch from Cape Canaveral.

Now, these are private missions, but it's part of a bigger NASA program called the Commercial Lunar Payload Services Program that's designed to get these uncrewed spacecraft to the surface of the moon.
