墨西哥首次登月任务将于1月8日举行，五个微型机器人将搭乘火箭踏上月球之旅。此次任务是由250名墨西哥大学生合作开发的，这些机器人是美国国家航空航天局（NASA）与全球其他六个航天机构共同领导的阿尔忒弥斯计划的一部分。
这五个直径10厘米、重60克的微型机器人，每个都配备了轮子、传感器和计算机，将研究月球的稀薄大气层。它们被称为COLEMNA，意为“蜂巢”，每个机器人上都配备了一个小型太阳能电池板，可以连接组成更大的太阳能电池板。
COLEMNA机器人将在月球表面进行实验，证明它们在粗糙的月球风化层中生存的能力。该项目旨在使自组织机器人分析行星表面建造结构的可行性成为可能。
这项任务将于美国东部时间1月8日凌晨2：18（北京时间1月8日12:02）在佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角举行。登陆器到达月球后，COLEMNA机器人将通过一个微型弹射器被运送到月球表面。

Mexico’s first moon mission is scheduled to launch on January 8, with five mini-robots developed by 250 Mexican college students set to journey to the lunar surface. The mission is part of the Artemis program, led by NASA and six other space agencies worldwide.
The five mini-robots, each measuring 10 centimeters in diameter and weighing 60 grams, are equipped with wheels, sensors, and computers to study the thin atmosphere of the moon. Known as COLEMNA, which means “beehive” in Spanish, each robot is fitted with a small solar panel that can be connected to form a larger solar array.
The COLEMNA robots will conduct experiments on the lunar surface to prove their ability to survive in the rough lunar regolith. The project aims to enable self-organizing robots to analyze the feasibility of constructing structures on planetary surfaces.
The mission is set to launch at 2:18 AM Eastern Time on January 8 (12:02 PM Beijing time on January 8) from Cape Canaveral, Florida. After reaching the moon, the lander will deploy the COLEMNA robots through a微型弹射器.
