Image: https://www.abnewswire.com/uploads/67ffc36d1b510d4c3aefdceba61ed7bf.png24 October, 2024 - ispace, inc. and Asteroid Mining Corporation (AMC) have reached an agreement for a space robotics demonstration on a future ispace mission to the lunar surface.
The memorandum of understanding signed by both companies provides a framework for collaboration that envisions a future mission in which an ispace lunar lander will deliver an AMC's space robot, the Space Capable Asteroid Robotic - Explorer or SCAR-E, to the lunar surface as a technology demonstration for future asteroid mining efforts. In space SCAR-E can be used for resource exploration on asteroids and the Moon, capable of tackling terrain such as craters that is currently inaccessible to conventional wheeled rovers.
In space, SCAR-E can help with resource exploration on asteroids and the Moon, capable of tackling terrain such as craters that are currently inaccessible to conventional wheeled rovers. SCAR-E features a space-capable design to withstand exposure to radiation, high accelerations experienced during space launch, and extreme temperatures in space. Furthermore, gripping the surface as it walks, SCAR-E's design allows targeted sampling and operations in microgravity environments.
ispace, launching the RESILIENCE lunar lander-its second transportation mission to the Moon-no earlier than December 2024, is simultaneously designing two subsequent series of lunar landers in its business entities in the United States and Japan. Once the Company agrees to the mission plan and secures funding, it will manifest the SCAR-E robot on a future mission.
Commenting on the agreement, Takeshi Hakamada, Founder & CEO of ispace, said, "This agreement is another example of ispace enabling innovators to test their technology on the moon's surface. As part of our business model, ispace supports pioneering projects by providing lunar transportation services to realize technology demonstrations in short timeframes."

The CEO of Asteroid Mining Corporation - Mitch Hunter-Scullion, also added, "This historic opportunity represents the first moon mission conducted by a UK-based company. Asteroid Mining Corporation stands ready to support any Artemis Accord signatory nation that has the desire to conduct Lunar operations."
"Alongside our partners at ispace, we can provide an end-to-end mission architecture that will enable more countries and organizations to engage in the emerging lunar market.
"We look forward to a productive relationship with ispace as we work together to unlock the economic potential of Cis-Lunar Space, for the benefit of all Mankind," said Mitch Hunter-Scullion, CEO and Founder of Asteroid Mining Corporation.
SCAR-E features a space-capable design, meant to withstand exposure to radiation, high accelerations experienced during space launch, and extreme temperatures found in space. Gripping the surface as it walks, SCAR-E's design allows targeted sampling and operations in microgravity environments.
