Instinct Space develops small, launcher-agnostic lunar landers engineered to travel autonomously from Low Earth Orbit to the lunar surface. By leveraging LEO rideshare launches rather than dedicated lunar missions, the company delivers high-cadence payloads to the Moon at significantly lower costs. Its core architecture, including the Lander-1 system, utilizes proprietary electric pump-fed propulsion running on HTP and RP-1 alongside visual navigation technology. The vehicle is designed to deliver payloads of up to 20kg directly to the lunar surface. The company backed by Y Combinator operates from London and originally focused on a lunar GPS constellation before pivoting to lander hardware.
