DHL MoonBox[1][2][3] was a mementos box that was launched to the Moon[4][5] on Astrobotic Technology's[6] Peregrine Lunar Lander in 2024. 151 MoonBox capsules, also known as "Moonpods", were made by DHL, each containing items intended to be shipped to the lunar surface. The capsules measured up to 1 inch wide and 2 inches high (2.5 by 5.1 cm), and contained items from the USA, UK, Canada, Nepal, Germany and Belgium. The items included stories written by children and a rock from Mount Everest. DHL also included a data stick which contained 100,000 images from those who responded to its "Who do you love to the moon and back?" campaign.[7][8][9]

Landing of the Peregrine on the moon was later abandoned due to a propellant leak. It re-entered Earth's atmosphere and was destroyed on 18 January 2024.[10]
