Japanese lunar transport startup, ispace Inc., has decided to postpone its planned moon landing mission by a year to 2026. The delay is aimed at allowing the company to adequately prepare for a commission by the U.S. agency NASA and address delays in the supply of components. Earlier this year, ispace's first lunar landing attempt, the Hakuto-R Mission 1 spacecraft, failed due to an altitude miscalculation. The mission's failure was preceded by a period of corporate turmoil, as reported by the Financial Times. The Chief Executive, Takeshi Hakamada, explained that the postponement was prompted by the need to meet higher vibration absorption standards required for the scientific equipment commissioned by NASA. Additionally, the U.S. branch of ispace, in collaboration with Draper, has encountered delays in procuring certain parts. Alongside the announcement, ispace also revealed the design of its third lander, which offers a shorter trajectory to the moon but has a reduced maximum load capacity of 300kg, 40% less than initially planned. Despite the setback, ispace's shares have recovered from the steep sell-off following the unsuccessful landing attempt and closed at 1,401 yen on Thursday.
