Deployable lunar landing pads for space mining applications are disclosed. In one aspect, a landing pad for deployment on a celestial body includes a deployable surface configured to be stored in a stowed configuration on a spacecraft and be deployed into a deployed configuration on a surface of the celestial body, a landing system configured to land the landing pad on the surface of the celestial body, and a control system configured to control the landing system during landing of the landing pad on the surface of the celestial body and control the deployment of the deployable surface. The deployable surface is further configured to reduce or eliminate scattering of loose material from the surface of the celestial body in the deployed configuration.
