ispace (TYO:9348) signed an agreement worth $1 million with JALUX, a Japan Airlines (TYO:9201) trading company, to transport a dedicated lunar container called Mobius Ark to the moon's surface, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Tuesday.
The agreement follows a memorandum of understanding signed in November 2025 among ispace and three JAL Group companies to explore collaboration in lunar transportation and operations.
The payload, which carries cultural artifacts, is expected to be launched on ispace's Mission 3 scheduled for 2028.
