Dymon—Mission Operations Innovation Joins the Lunar Ledger

November 03, 2025 — The Open Lunar Foundation launched the Lunar Ledger, a new open-access database of global lunar activities and objects. The Ledger provides a single, shared platform where governments, companies, and researchers can publish and cross-reference mission information — a practical step toward transparency and coordination as activity on and around the Moon increases.

The launch took place during the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Sydney, where Open Lunar signed Memoranda of Understanding with its first commercial partners — including Japan-based Dymon. The future of lunar exploration depends on technologists who understand that success is shared, and Dymon, as the developer behind the innovative rover flown alongside JAOPS’s software on the 2025 IM2 mission, brings exactly that collaborative ethic to the Lunar Ledger.

As soon as their mission operations partner JAOPS joined the Ledger, Dymon stepped forward as a signatory. For Dymon, the reasons were clear: cooperation, coordination, and transparent visibility are more than ideals, they’re prerequisites for lunar mission success and long-term sustainability. Their swift commitment reflects a keen awareness of how tightly interwoven hardware and software teams must be, not only on the surface of the Moon but across the global space community.

Dymon’s participation as a Ledger signatory affirms the platform’s growing value for both engineering innovators and their collaborators. Their own journey through the challenges of developing, deploying, and integrating a lunar rover: navigating cross-team interfaces and operational risks, mirrors the very spirit of coalition and open information that the Ledger is designed to champion.

We’re honored that Dymon has brought their technical vision and cooperative mindset to our community. Their belief in open standards and mission transparency is helping lay the groundwork for the next wave of sustainable, successful exploration—where each partner’s strengths multiply in collective progress.
