With the introduction of the new ULTRA lunar lander model, we are revising our planned mid-term mission schedule and mission numbers. The current ispace-U.S. Mission 3 (Draper Commercial Mission 1) was selected to carry NASA’s CLPS Task Order CP-12 as a member of Team Draper. As a result of our recent updates, including the replacement of the engine and the transition from APEX 1.0 to the integrated model ULTRA, ispace-U.S. has updated its first U.S. mission to 2030. ispace-U.S. has proposed the updated task plan for CP-12 following careful discussions and agreement with its primary Mission 3 customer Draper, which is pending NASA approval. Additionally, based on our mission heritage, ispace is entering the market with a new Lunar Connect Service which provides communications and positioning services by using lunar orbit transport technology. The business plan calls for launch of at least five of its lunar orbit satellites by 2030. Mission 3 (formerly Mission 4), is currently under development in Japan with funding from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s (METI) SBIR grant, and will continue to target a 2028 launch.

Congratulations to the teams at JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on today's successful H3 launch! 🚀✨ @JAXA_en @JAXA_jp @MHI_Group @MHI_GroupJP

Piece by piece, the ULTRA Structural Model (SM) has been coming together. 🌘—>🌗—>🌕 These photos capture the final moments of a key integration activity for the ULTRA lunar lander's SM ahead of the testing campaign. Guided by precise crane operations and careful manual adjustments, our engineering team aligned the upper assembly with the lander's primary structure before successfully bringing the two together. This operation marks the completion of a key phase of SM assembly, preparing the hardware for its next chapter—testing. #ispace #ULTRA #LunarExploration #AIT #Engineering #Teamwork

"We were delighted to welcome industry leaders, government officials, and distinguished guests to our new Earth Base office in Nihonbashi, Tokyo! As interest in lunar exploration continues to expand, the gathering provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on the opportunities ahead for the space industry and discuss the next steps toward sustainable lunar development. We were especially pleased to host our esteemed Lunar Advisory Board members, Mr. Jean-Jacques Dordain, Mr. Yoshinori Komiya, Dr. Tom Ochinero, and Dr. Alan Stern, whose insights continue to help guide ispace's long-term vision. Amongst industry representatives in attendance were Dr. Nicola ""Nicky"" Fox, Associate Administrator for @NASA's Science Mission Directorate, and Dr. Hiroshi Yamakawa, President of the @JAXA_en Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Dr. Fox also added her signature to our Mission Control signature wall, joining the many partners, customers, and supporters who have been part of our journey to the Moon. Thank you to everyone who attended! Through open dialogue and collaboration across industry, academia, and government, we move closer to unlocking the opportunities of the Moon."

🌕 One year ago today, we took another pioneering step toward the Moon. On June 6, 2025, our Mission 2 RESILIENCE lunar lander descended toward the Moon's surface in a bold attempt to achieve a commercial lunar landing. While the mission did not end as planned, we are reminded that achievements in space exploration are only possible through perseverance, continuous learning, and innovation. The knowledge gained from Mission 2 has strengthened our technology, informed our future development efforts, and reinforced our commitment to the Moon and establishment of a thriving cislunar economy. Every mission contributes valuable experience and data that helps move the space industry forward. As we reflect on this anniversary, we remain focused on the road ahead and grateful for the support of the ispace crew, our partners, customers, shareholders, and the global space community who believe in our mission. #ispace #M2 #RESILIENCE #WeGoBeyond #LunarExploration #Moon #SpaceExploration #CislunarEconomy

Tonight’s Full Moon is a special one! As the second Full Moon this month, it earns the title of “Blue Moon.” While the Moon itself won’t actually appear blue, the term has long been used to describe this infrequent occurrence in the calendar. 💫 The phrase “once in a blue moon” is often used to describe something rare, but at ispace, we’re working toward a future where reaching the Moon becomes far more routine. Through the development of lunar landers, infrastructure, and transportation services, our mission is to make cislunar space more accessible and support a sustainable human presence beyond Earth. 🌎🚀🌕 #ispace #FullMoon #BlueMoon #Moon #LunarExploration #SpaceExploration

📣 Announcement: ispace and JALUX have signed a Payload Service Agreement (PSA) for a 2028 Mission 3 lunar landing! Under the agreement, Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (JAL) and JALUX, JAL’s trading company, will sell payload transport capacity to private companies and local governments for delivery to the lunar surface aboard ispace’s ULTRA lander. 🚀🌕 In November 2025, ispace and three JAL Group companies (JAL, JALUX, and JAL Engineering) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore collaboration in the fields of lunar transportation and operations. Today’s PSA marks the first step in the concrete implementation of that collaboration. Utilizing the payload transport capacity, the JAL Group is launching the “ARGO PROJECT,” an initiative to pass on Earth’s culture on the Moon for future generations. Using ispace landers, a dedicated lunar transport container, “Möbius Ark,” will carry regional specialties and products representative of local businesses to the Moon’s surface.
