Japanese firm ispace is set to make its second attempt to land on the moon, potentially becoming Asia's first private company to do so. Onboard its lander called "Resilience" is Taiwan's first lunar probe, developed by students at National Central University. In an exclusive interview with ispace's Jumpei Nozaki, the executive business director and CFO says they're aiming for "a landing and beyond." Aside from achieving a soft landing, the firm also plans to deploy a rover to study the moon's surface, a major milestone for the commercial space sector.
