iSpace is a lunar mission and exploration company. Its goal is to expand human presence in space. According to the company, the moon's water resources represent untapped potential for developing a space economy: water can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen to produce fuel, accelerating the pace of space exploration. Therefore, the company is mapping lunar water resources. The company's management predicts that by 2040, 1,000 people will live on the moon and iSpace will provide the infrastructure for lunar missions (lander, rovers, etc). iSpace's first lunar mission was launched in 2022 to demonstrate a soft landing on the moon. The second, in 2024, was intended to deliver a small rover. Both missions crashed on the moon but provided the company with valuable data and experience.
