LuSEE-Night had to weigh no more than 128 kg in order to fit on the Blue Ghost lunar lander it was intended to go to the Moon on.

A New Lunar Far Side Radio Telescope Is Ready For Testing

We’ve been talking about sending a radio telescope to the far side of the Moon for awhile now. Now that reality is one step closer with the completion of the design and construction phase of the Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment-Night (LuSEE-Night) radio telescope project. This milestone marks a major step in the development of the system, which is planned to launch on a lunar lander in 2026.
