This is such a cool mission with so many great spacecraft. First of all, it's awesome that the launch is a rideshare for a lunar lander, a space tug, a lunar water mapping satellite, and an asteroid mining prospecting mission. Then, after landing, Nova-C deploys the Micro Nova "Grace" hopper, MAPP rover, Yaoki rover, and starts a 4G/LTE network.
The Wikipedia page also mentions a lunar communication satellite being part of the rideshare, but I'm pretty sure that isn't on this launch.
