The European Union and Luxembourg are also planning to send missions to the moon. The European Space Agency (ESA) is planning to send a rover to the moon in 2023, and Luxembourg is planning to send a small satellite to the moon in 2024.
Israel, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates are all planning to send robotic missions to the moon. Israel successfully launched a spacecraft to the moon in 2019, but it crashed on the lunar surface. South Korea is planning to send a lunar orbiter and lander in 2022, and the United Arab Emirates is planning to send a lunar orbiter and lander in 2024.
