ispace's Mission 2 represents a major milestone in lunar exploration. If successful, it will be one of the first Moon landings completed by a private company.
Mission 2 is also set to perform the first commercial transaction of lunar resources. The TENACIOUS micro rover, developed by ispace-EUROPE, will collect lunar regolith and transfer it to NASA, thus establishing a precedent for lunar resource extraction and ownership.
Other commercial payloads on board the RESILIENCE lunar lander include:
Water electrolyzer equipment: From Takasago Thermal Engineering Co.
Food production experiment: A self-contained module from Euglena Co.
Deep space radiation probe: Developed by the Department of Space Science and Engineering, National Central University, Taiwan
Commemorative alloy plate: Developed by Bandai Namco Research Institute, Inc. and modeled after “Charter of the Universal Century” from the animation Mobile Suit Gundam UC
Moonhouse: A model house by Swedish artist Mikael Genberg that will be mounted on the rover.
The RESILIENCE lander will also serve as a cultural artifact, carrying a UNESCO memory disk that preserves linguistic and cultural diversity.
Jeremy Fix, ispace-U.S. Chief Engineer, will be joining us to connect with the community, answer your questions, and offer remarks to the group. As a Mines alum, Jeremy is excited to return to his alma mater for this big event!
We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you!
