Fusion Space is targeting Wednesday, July 13th at 23:00 BST for the launch of Fusion Two from Pad 01A at the National Space Center (NSC) carrying the Enterprise-II Luna Lander for DAXT. The first stage booster will attempt an experimental landing at LZ-1.

Enterprise-II Luna Lander

Enterprise-II is the final experimental lander to verify all systems ahead of Enerprise-III mission, which will deliver basic infrastructure for us to begin construction of lunar base. The langer uses Hydrazine as it's main fuel and it equipped with numerous experiments. This will help us provide some additional data ahead of commercial lunar landing missions. The lander comes equipped with rover that will fotograph the lander and will also give us some nice shots and will help us understand how has the lander survived on the outside. We are planning to be also testing some orbital manuevers with this lander to ensure a precise orbital insertion and landing.

Apoapsis: 1500km
