Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and founded in 2010, ispace operates globally with subsidiaries and teams in the United States, Europe, and Asia, targeting government agencies, private enterprises, and research institutions in the lunar economy sector. Recent major developments include the successful launch of Mission 2 in late 2024 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9, marking progress toward operational lunar landings following the 2023 Mission 1 attempt; a strategic partnership with SpaceX for multiple upcoming missions; and a JPY 5.1 billion funding round in 2025 to support expanded rover production and RESOLUTE program commercialization.
