Latest Space Exploration Updates

We’ve made it quick and convenient for you to keep updated on some of what we consider as the more interesting topics to talk about as a proponent and an advocate for the missions and contributions to space research.

The Hakuto-R Mission 1 of ispace

According to Jon Kelvey from inverse.com (2022, Dec. 10), the Hakuto-R Mission 1 involves a lander and two robotic rovers, built by ispace along side the United Arab Emirates. The success of this mission would indicate the first successful commercial delivery of payloads to the Moon. Basically, the mission will try to show iSpace's landing platform for landing missions in the future. The rovers that they carry is also essential as it would also provide data.

Space-X Starship Selected for Sustained Lunar Exploration

In order to push forward the Starship human landing system, NASA stated that it had extended its deal with SpaceX. SpaceX will now support a second human landing demonstration as part of NASA's Artemis IV mission. SpaceX was primarily chosen a lunar lander capable of carrying astronauts between lunar orbit and the surface of the Moon as part of NASA's Artemis Ill mission, marking humanity's first return to the Moon since the Apollo program's final mission in 1972. Additionally, SpaceX will demonstrate off Starship's capability to dock with Gateway, a tiny space station orbiting the Moon that will allow lunar and deep-space exploration, accommodate four crew members, and supply additional supplies, equipment, and science payloads required for in-depth surface study.
