A Japanese Company Claims It Will Utilize SpaceX Rockets to Land on the Moon

A Japanese space agency, iSpace, announced on Wednesday 26th September that it will launch a lunar lander and rover to the moon in 2020 and 2021.

The uncrewed iSpace spacecraft will go to space on board a  SpaceX Faclon 9 Rocket, the organization said. On the off chance that it all g oes well, in 2020, the company will endevour to orbit the moon with one of its landers. In 2021, it will attempt to securely place a lander on the lunar surface and send lunar rovers to investigate further. It's not so clear to predict what the landers are going to look for, however iSpace has shown in the past that it plans to discover new assets, mostly water, to exploit for future human habitation

"We share the vision with SpaceX of enabling humans to live in space, so we're very glad they will join us in this first step of our journey," iSpace founder and CEO Takeshi Hakamada remarked in a statement.

SpaceX's own lunar plans involve flying people into the vicinity of the moon in 2023, but it won't make an attempt to overcome the technical difficulties required to conduct a successful landing.

It's worth remembering that the last time this company had a deadline for landing on the moon, it didn't meet it. The iSpace project is a two-part mission that will be named the HAKUTO-R. "Hakuto" meaning "white rabbit" in Japanese and is in reference to the Japanese folklore about a rabbit on the moon, the company stated. It first used the name as a competitor for Goodle's never-paid $30 million "Lunar X Prize," which would have been awarded to a company that landed a device on the moon by March 31, 2018. The "R" stands for "Reboot," iSpace said.
