Ispace Technologies is a space resource exploration company founded in 2013 to develop micro-robots that will locate the resources necessary to extend human life into outer space. Their main focus is to locate, extract, and deliver lunar ice to customers in cis-lunar space.
Ispace manages the technological and business development operations of
Team HAKUTO in the Google Lunar XPRIZE Competition. Team Hakuto is a front runner in the $30M competition to land a privately funded robot on the Moon and was one of only three teams to win a $500,000 Milestone Prize in mobility.
Ispace utilizes 3D printed and commercially off the shelf products (COTS) for rapid prototyping while maximizing structural mass efficiency and shortening the developmental life cycle. Their micro-robots are able to explore larger areas of the Moon faster, at a fraction of the cost of large robots.
