Landing at “Mare Frigoris” planned
The lunar probe “Resilience” is to land in the “Mare Frigoris” area on the Northern Hemisphere of the moon facing the Earth. This will also ensure a sufficient supply of sunlight and the probe’s ability to communicate. The “Tenacious” rover carries the “Moonhouse” and the mission’s other payload, can set it down on the moon and pick up resources. The vehicle also offers video transmission and route data transmission. The rover is 26 centimetres high, 31.5 centimetres wide, 54 centimetres long and weighs around five kilograms. It was developed by Ispace Europe in Luxembourg.
In addition to the “Moonhouse”, the “Tenacious” rover has four other items on board. A water electrolysis system, a module for food production experiments, a device for measuring space radiation and a memorial plate made of a special alloy.

First “Hakuto-R” mission ended disastrously
The “Hakuto-R Mission 1” ended in disaster in April 2023. After the space probe had flown for four months on a fuel-saving route towards the moon, the mission team lost radio contact. Those responsible assumed that the probe had crashed onto the moon, which was later confirmed when NASA found fragments of the probe there.
The Japanese company Ispace specializes in the development and construction of lunar landers and rovers. In this way, Ispace aims to open up the moon and space in general as a human habitat by offering regular, cost-effective transportation to the moon. Ispace’s lunar missions have so far run under the name “Hakuto R.” “Hakuto” is Japanese for “white rabbit”, the R stands for “reboot”.
