TBD • ispace Mission 3 • Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI) • ispace ULTRA Lunar LanderMoon | Explorer

@ispace_inc With the introduction of the new ULTRA lunar lander model, we are revising our planned mid-term mission schedule and mission numbers. The current ispace-U.S. Mission 3 (Draper Commercial Mission 1) was selected to carry NASA’s CLPS Task Order CP-12 as a member of Team Draper. As a result of our recent updates, including the replacement of the engine and the transition from APEX 1.0 to the integrated model ULTRA, ispace-U.S. has updated its first U.S. mission to 2030. ispace-U.S. has proposed the updated task plan for CP-12 following careful discussions and agreement with its primary Mission 3 customer Draper, which is pending NASA approval. Additionally, based on our mission heritage, ispace is entering the market with a new Lunar Connect Service which provides communications and positioning services by using lunar orbit transport technology. The business plan calls for launch of at least five of its lunar orbit satellites by 2030. Mission 3 (formerly Mission 4), is currently under development in Japan with funding from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s (METI) SBIR grant, and will continue to target a 2028 launch
