Japanese space startups continue to take on adventurous challenges amid intensifying international competition for technological development, with the private sector taking over the lead role in space development. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/26/japan/japan-startups-space-development/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #space #tech #startups #investments #ispace #astroscaleholdings #interstellartechnologies
Ispace-Gründer Takashi Hakamada blieb seinem Motto treu: Never give up the lunar quest (deutsch: Wir geben das Streben zum Mond niemals auf).
Japanese startup Ispace set a June 6 target touchdown date for its moon lander, following the success of its rocket "rideshare" buddy, a spacecraft from a U.S. firm. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/04/japan/japan-space-startup-moon-landing-date/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #ispace #space #moon #rockets
Tokyo-based moon exploration company Ispace is heartened by signs the United States and Japan will remain on course for joint lunar missions, amid growing uncertainties in U.S. space policies under Trump 2.0. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/02/13/japan-moon-firm-ispace-upbeat/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #ispace #takeshihakamada #moon #space #artemis #nasa

Two Lunar Landers En Route After SpaceX’s Historic Dual Launch
Double Moonshot: SpaceX’s Falcon 9 deployed two lunar landers — Firefly’s Blue Ghost and ispace’s Resilience — on separate lunar trajectories.
Firefly’s Mission: NASA-backed Blue Ghost aims to land on Mare Crisium by March 2, carrying scientific instruments and a dust shield prototype. 
Here is a closer look at the ispace HAKUTO-R Mission 2 landing site in Mare Frigoris. The landing site, at 56.0°N 1.4°E, seems to be located in a shallow depression in a fairly flat area.

A new year of lunar exploration kicked off early Wednesday, when two robotic landers and a small rover began their journeys to the moon. A SpaceX rocket lifted off at 1:11 a.m. ET from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, launching two separate, uncrewed missions to the lunar surface. NBC News reports:

SPACE SpaceX Boosts Private Moon Missions
Two lunar landers from Firefly Aerospace (US) and ispace (Japan) launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9.
Firefly's "Blue Ghost" will study Moon samples and Earth's magnetic field, aiding future human missions.
ispace's "Resilience" aims to gather regolith in a five-month journey to the Moon.
NASA supports the mission, marking a major step in commercial Moon exploration.
