DAIMON was contracted by JALUX to develop the Möbius Ark lunar transportation box, which is scheduled to be carried on ispace's 2028 lunar landing mission. The box is designed to transport cargo on the lunar surface.
On 13 October 2026, DAIMON signed an outsourcing agreement with JALUX covering the development of a lunar transportation box and its components. The box being developed, Möbius Ark, is expected to be carried on ispace's 2028 lunar landing mission and will transport cargo to the lunar surface.
The ARGO PROJECT provides a framework for a lunar transportation service that carries local specialty products and companies' representative products to the lunar surface. Sales to general companies and local governments began in May 2026. The JAL Group and JALUX are promoting the lunar transportation framework, which envisions cargo transportation for long-term storage on the Moon.
DAIMON will use technology developed through the YAOKI project to develop the transportation box for the Moon. YAOKI is a small lunar rover that reached the lunar surface in 2025, and the company has also worked on systems including transportation and deployment.
Under the development plan, the first stage will run from August 2026 to the end of January 2027 and will include EM design verification. The box will measure approximately 20 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm and will be divided internally to accommodate multiple items. The second stage will run from February through December 2027 and will include production of the flight unit and qualification testing. The box is scheduled to be carried on ULTRA for a lunar mission in 2028.
On ispace's lunar landing mission, photography and long-term storage are planned after the box reaches the lunar surface.
