Ispace Hakuto-R's second lunar mission failed, but the company’s plans continue with new landers and rovers aimed at building a sustainable lunar economy

In a historic Falcon 9 launch, SpaceX sent two lunar landers, Firefly's Aerospace Blue Ghost and ispace's Hakuto-R Resilience, toward the Moon

The qualification model of the ispace lunar Micro Rover passed environmental tests, proving that its design can endure the launch and operating conditions

On November 16, 2023, ispace founder and CEO Takeshi Hakamada hosted the first kick-off event of Hakuto-R 's second mission

On July 13, 2023, ispace Inc. officially began the assembly, integration, and testing of their second Hakuto-R spacecraft that will attempt to land on the Moon

Hakuto-R, the Japanese private lander, probably crashed after losing contact during its descent to the lunar surface. Its mission ends prematurely
