At Zenith Ascent, we are building the logistics backbone for the lunar economy. Our mission is to make delivering payloads to the Moon and back as seamless and cost-effective as possible.
We’re developing a new class of lunar delivery systems, starting with Zenith 1.0, Europe’s first private lunar lander designed with a lean, modular, and payload-agnostic architecture. Our approach decouples payloads from the lander—enabling faster integration, scalable operations, and future reusability.
Our infrastructure is designed not just for one mission, but for the next decade of lunar activity—from science and technology demonstrations to commercial operations and lunar base logistics.
We’re currently engaging customers and partners who share our vision of building a permanent, active lunar presence.
