ispace's RESILIENCE lunar mission is progressing with global support and advanced technology. The mission control center in Tokyo manages the spacecraft.
The European Space Agency (ESA) and its Estrack network are crucial to the mission. Estrack's deep space antennas in Spain, Argentina, and Australia, plus a station in French Guiana, provide essential support. Commercial entities, such as Goonhilly Earth Station Ltd in the UK, also contribute.
Estrack stations have supported RESILIENCE from launch to lunar orbit. The spacecraft is preparing for lunar surface descent, with Estrack ready to track it. A key part of the mission is deploying TENACIOUS, the first European-built lunar rover, created by ispace Europe S.A. in Luxembourg, with support from the Luxembourg National Space Programme and ESA. This mission highlights international collaboration in space exploration.
