Resilience Lunar Lander

Resilience Micro Rover

For its second mission, ispace aims to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface. It will then deploy its proprietary Micro Rover to explore the Moon’s surface and collect regolith.

Based on experience gained during Mission 1, ispace engineers and operators in mission control have worked to significantly improve the accuracy and precision of maneuvers during Mission 2 and have confirmed that all seven subsystems of the Resilience lander were nominal prior to landing.
