Airbus Ventures invests in Tokyo-based ispace
SAN FRANCISCO
Airbus Ventures
announced an investment Oct. 25 in ispace, the Toyko-based company preparing to send its first lander to the moon next year.
Airbus Ventures brought ispace into its portfolio
because “it’s an extraordinary team that has positioned the right technologies at the right time,”
Lewis Pinault, the Airbus Ventures partner who leads the firm’s investments in Asia, told SpaceNews.
“They have every chance of being the first private company on the moon.”
Airbus Ventures also is enthusiastic about ispace’s plan to acquire data on lunar mineral and energy resources,
Pinault said.
Since it was founded in Japan in 2010, ispace has established offices in Luxembourg and Denver,
and relationships with space agencies and private companies around the world.
A Series 1 ispace lunar lander
is undergoing final assembly in an ArianeGroup facility in Germany ahead of its flight scheduled for the second half of 2022 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.The ispace’s lander
is slated to deliver lunar payloads forthe UAE-based Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre,
the Japanese Space Agency JAXA,
and commercial firms in Japan and Canada.
