Landing sites

Each flight sits on the site it headed for: landed, tipped, hard landing, or planned. Crew and orbit flights stay off the plate. One photograph of the near side, and a plotted chart of the south pole. Click a flight to open its Moon Imports record.

The south pole plate is a drawing. Sites are the planned or intended target. Hard landings and flights that never arrived stay at the site they aimed for.

Small thrusters keep the route on course to the first landing

ispace builds ULTRA for its first landing, Mission 3, in 2028. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry funds the lander. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries launches it on H3. UEL's two wheeled SCARAB rover is booked to photograph the lander. On 6 October 2026 ispace selected ArianeGroup to supply the small thrusters that keep the route on course, and to install and test them.

Türkiye's first Moon spacecraft, built down to the motor

SpaceX holds the agreement to put AYAP-1 into Earth orbit in the first half of 2027. From there DeltaV's Hybrid Propulsion System (HIS) does the lunar transfer, the roughly 100 km polar science orbit, and the planned hard impact. TÜBİTAK UZAY built the roughly 3.5 t TstarD-100 bus for the Turkish Space Agency under AYAP; 56 of 65 mission-critical parts are domestic; four science payloads ride along.

How Vast's Lunar Programs stack fits NASA's Moon Base

NASA is building toward a permanent Moon Base at the south pole: cargo first, then crew, with shared power and surface elements for long stay. On 23 September 2026 Vast opened Lunar Programs with a proposed power station, airlock, habitat, and south pole constellation. Haven Demo and Haven-1 are the Earth orbit proof.
