The HAKUTO-R Mission 2 RESILIENCE lander is one step closer to the Moon! We are pleased to announce today that the lander has successfully completed thermal vacuum testing and remains on schedule for a winter 2024 launch. Thermal vacuum testing is conducted in a large chamber that allows the lunar lander to experience conditions similar to what it will face during its journey through outer space including extreme temperatures in a vacuum environment. Initial test results indicated successful operation of power systems, guidance, navigation and control (GNC) equipment, radio communications, and thermal control of the lander while simulating an actual spaceflight. “I am grateful for the efforts of ispace’s employees as the RESILIENCE lunar lander has achieved another significant testing milestone in preparation for Mission 2. Conducting multiple missions in relatively short intervals has improved the maturity of our team and the technology itself. We are dedicated to mission success and will continue to work towards realizing our vision of high-frequency, low-cost lunar transportation services,” said Takeshi Hakamada, Founder and CEO of ispace.

Assembly of the RESILIENCE lander covers operations both big and small. In this video, captured back in February, you can see ispace engineers carefully conducting one of the larger-scale procedures, mating the two main subassemblies of the lander together. The upper section, with many of our customer payloads nestled alongside other components, and bottom section, containing the main propulsion system, function in harmony almost as soon as they are joined together. #ispace #HAKUTO_R #RESILIENCE #lunarquest #lunarlander #Moon
