Notes: LuPEx is the fourth moon mission to try a 90° landing with a 350 kg rover. The mission is a joint effort between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Japanese space agency JAXA.
LuPEx will land the rover on the dark side of the moon, which is rarely explored. The rover will explore a 1 km x 1 km area for about 100 Earth days. LuPEx aims to land a large 350 kg rover on the moon’s 90-degree area with precise landing technology. Chandrayaan-3 included a 30 kg rover.
