Chandra Lander

A porch light on the Moon.

Chandra makes the Moon walkable. A reusable cargo-and-crew lander operating between low lunar orbit and the poles, built to outlast the mission that launched it.

Mission purpose

Cislunar logistics, polar ice mining support, permanent base resupply.

The next great city won't rise on Earth. Chandra is the truck, the tram, and the ferry of that city — quiet, reliable, and stubbornly reusable.

Refuelled by ice cracked from Shackleton crater, it needs nothing from Earth once operational.
