Daedalus Hopper

A last-mile lunar cargo vehicle designed to deliver up to 45 kg of payload across the lunar surface, reaching sites over 50 km apart in minutes.

 

Powered by our eight hydrogen peroxide monopropellant engines.

TERRAIN INDEPENDENCE

Propulsive flight eliminates surface terrain as a constraint. The hopper overflies craters, boulders, and hazards to reach sites that surface vehicles cannot access, including permanently shadowed craters.

RAPID SURFACE TRANSIT

Covers over 50 km in minutes, not days. Faster transit means more time on-site for payload operations and the ability to visit multiple locations within a single lunar day.

Daedalus Hopper Demo

InSitu's first lunar mission, scheduled for 2029. Hopper Demo delivers up to 10 kg of payload to multiple surface sites up to 20 km apart.

 

The mission advances flight-proven hardware for Daedalus Hopper Mission-1 while serving as a dedicated payload delivery platform for commercial and government customers.

SHARED ARCHITECTURE

Built on the same architecture as Daedalus Hopper Mission-1. Every component flown on Demo becomes flight heritage for the full-scale vehicle.

PRECISION DELIVERY

A highly maneuverable spacecraft with customizable mission profiles. The payload deck supports a wide range of payload sizes, form factors, and interface configurations, giving customers maximum flexibility in how they fly.
