Logistics for space, built on water

[Robert Carlisle @CarlisleR_01]

Absolutely. But expeditions alone, science or government projects, cannot create a true permanent presence. These may open a frontier, but will not sustain. Enduring presence in any new frontier requires an economic driver and, in time, industrialization. For the Moon, this means deriving Earth-facing economic value from the Lunar surface.
NASA is helping crack this open - but U.S. industry will create permanence and growth.

We are headed to the Moon! Very exciting first-of-its-kind Lunar transport service, and a major step in our effort to create the multimodal logistics system that will build the industrial space age.

📣 Announcement: ispace-U.S. and Argo Space have finalized an agreement to deliver ispace’s Lunar Connect satellite, Alpine, to lunar orbit!

Planned to launch as early as 2027 as ispace Mission 2.5, the mission will use Argo Space’s Argonaut vehicle to transport Alpine to lunar orbit, where it will become the first satellite in our planned Lunar Connect constellation.

“The Lunar economy will be built on infrastructure, and infrastructure starts with the first asset in orbit. This mission allows us to deploy our first Lunar Connect satellite and deliver communications and positioning services around the Moon,” said Elizabeth Kryst, CEO of ispace-U.S.

Based on our proven spaceflight heritage, extensive mission control operations, and assembly, integration, and testing (AIT) experience, ispace and ispace-U.S. intend to lead the development of a vibrant cislunar economy that connects the Earth and the Moon.
