The next time you're on the moon, you might want to remember "Pocari Sweat" in case you get thirsty.

Pocari Sweat, a popular Japanese sports drink, could be the first commercially delivered beverage to the moon. The Pittsburgh-based aerospace company Astrobotic Technology said this week it plans to ship the sports drink in a rocket to the moon in October 2015, ABC News reported.

The Pocari Sweat drink will be sealed inside a time capsule named the Lunar Dream provided by Singapore-based Astroscale.

"We are delighted that Astroscale has chosen Astrobotic to deliver its lunar payload," John Thornton, Astrobotic's CEO, said in a press release on the company's website. "Astrobotic leads the market in establishing affordable lunar access for companies, universities and governments."

Shipping a package into outer space with Astrobotic can cost $2 million, ABC News reported.

This wouldn't be Pocari Sweat's first time in space. The sports drink was sent to the International Space Station for a video advertisement in 2001, ABC News reported.

According to Astrobotic's website, Pocari Sweat is a healthy, consumable I.V. solution developed in Japan in 1980. Pocari Sweat is sold all over Asia and parts of the Middle East.

Other items have also been shipped to space. Lego shipped miniature figures of the Roman gods Jupiter and Juno in a spacecraft to Jupiter in 2011, the Guardian Liberty Voice reported.

Another space-shipped item was golden records with music from Mozart, Chuck Berry and other singers. The records were placed inside an aluminum canister made with Uranium 238, to ensure that extraterrestrials would be able to find out how old it is, the Guardian Liberty Voice reported.

The Pocari Sweat launch is part of the Google Lunar XPrize competition, a race to see which private company will be the first to send an unmanned rocket to the moon, ABC News reported. Of the 18 teams, Astrobotic's launch date is the earliest. Astrobotic will be awarded $20 million if it succeeds.
