How It Works

Earth to Moon,
end to end.

01

Launch

Agnostic launch capability — anywhere, anytime, to any orbit. Designed to fly aboard any commercial rideshare.

02

Land

Proprietary lander engine technology — low complexity, high efficiency — with the capability to land anywhere on the Moon.

03

Deliver

A tailored mission timeline lowers delivery cost 5–10×, enabling more than five payload missions every year.

04

Connect

Every landing adds a comms node. Moon-wide coverage with far-side and polar relay — fully LunaNet-compatible.

The Problem

Going to the Moon is expensive,
slow, and spotty.

The Status Quo

Today, reaching the lunar surface means high cost, rare windows, and unreliable contact.


  • Payload delivery runs ~$1,000,000 per kilogram
  • Launches typically occur only once a year
  • Sparse infrastructure leaves polar and far-side regions with spotty or zero connection

The LunaWorks Solution

Cheaper, more frequent lunar access — with connectivity that grows every mission.


  • 5–10× lower delivery cost with more than five launches per year
  • Capability to land anywhere on the Moon
  • Moon-wide coverage — one new comms node with every landing
  • Far-side & polar relay services, LunaNet-compatible

Market & Strategic Value

Why now.

$20B Pledged
Funded through 2033
NASA and global partners are funding life support, science, rovers, and resource extraction for a permanent lunar base.
10–25 / year
Surging asset deployment
New lunar assets deployed every year by 2030, with high concentration at the South Pole.
5–10× Cost Reduction
Lighter, faster missions
Relaying comms reduces payload mass and technical challenges for clients, dramatically speeding up commercial missions.
Far-Side First
Reclaiming lunar coverage
No commercial entity has 24/7 far-side communications today. LunaWorks is building that capability from the ground up.
