Lunar Ascent has been busy over the summer break speaking with industry, thinking about achieving our manifesto's objectives and preparing for the next key steps in Australia's mission to the Moon.

After our industry-focused announcement and securing Australia's first ride-share customers to the Moon in December 2020, we are ready to accelerate in 2021.

With the Australian Space Industry truly taking off, 2021 is set to be an even greater year with upcoming announcements and industry soundings coming very soon. Follow our socials and join our mailing list to stay on board the mission.
