This Payload User's Guide, version 4.0 from June 2020, describes Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander and the standard payload delivery services offered to customers. It covers lunar orbit and surface delivery options, the Peregrine bus, payload interfaces, mission operations, and payload integration.
The guide states that Peregrine provides power and data services to payloads during transit and on the lunar surface. It lists prices for lunar orbit, lunar surface, and rover delivery, and explains that all payload deployments are nominally planned for Lunar Orbit 2. It also includes interface environments, mission timeline, glossary, and contact questionnaire.
