## Content
@ -68,3 +71,15 @@ PRIMARY CONNECTION: Pattern 5 (landing reliability as independent bottleneck)
WHY ARCHIVED: The equatorial near-side choice was unexpected and reveals Interlune's explicit recognition of landing reliability as an extraction design constraint. This is a real-world engineering decision that evidences the pattern, not just commentary about it.
EXTRACTION HINT: Extract the mission design tradeoff as explicit evidence that landing reliability shapes extraction site selection, not just technology readiness or resource concentration. The design choice itself is the evidence.
## Key Facts
- Interlune's Prospect Moon 2027 mission targets equatorial near-side, not south pole
- Griffin-1 mission (July 2026) carries multispectral camera to south pole for He-3 concentration mapping
- Interlune raised $5M SAFE in January 2026
- Interlune has $500M+ in total purchase orders and government contracts (Bluefors, DOE, Maybell, others)
- Interlune excavator current phase wraps mid-2026 with go/no-go decision on follow-on funding
- Full-scale excavator prototype built with Vermeer partnership
- Excavator design: continuous-motion technique, 100 tonnes/hour rated capacity per Harvester
- CLPS landing success rate: 20% (1 of 5 clean successes)
- Equatorial He-3 concentration range: ~1.4-2 ppb
