Japan to land on the Moon:What is Resilience Lander?

The Resilience lander is a Japanese lunar spacecraft developed by ispace for its Hakuto-R Mission 2, aiming to demonstrate reliable lunar transportation and data services.

It is scheduled to attempt landing on the Moon’s Mare Frigoris region on June 5, 2025 (UTC), following a successful lunar orbit insertion in May 2025.

The lander stands 2.3 meters tall, weighs 340 kg dry, and features an octagonal prism body with four landing legs and a main thruster supported by six assist thrusters.

Resilience carries several science payloads, including a water electrolyzer experiment, an algae-based food production module, a deep space radiation monitor, and a micro rover for resource exploration.

The mission builds on lessons from ispace’s previous lunar attempt in 2023, with upgraded systems for improved reliability and precision in navigation and landing.

If successful, Resilience will mark a significant achievement for Japan’s private space sector and advance commercial lunar exploration capabilities
