With SpaceX Starship, Japan's ispace provides ride-share to the moon

Japanese company ispace is launching a lower-cost lunar cargo service by flying payloads on SpaceX’s Starship — it bought 500 kg of capacity for $50 million, with a possible moon landing by 2030.
ispace will build a lunar “bus” to host shared client payloads on the moon, complementing its own landers (the Ultra series) and participation in NASA’s CLPS program.
The SpaceX tie-up should speed ispace’s push into lunar infrastructure (the deal is non‑exclusive) after earlier Falcon 9 attempts to reach the moon.
