With our HAKUTO-R Mission 2 RESILIENCE lunar lander getting ready for launch this winter, we’re looking back on some of the major moments during assembly, integration, and testing. The RESILIENCE lander has 4 legs that deploy after separation from the rocket, utilizing a shock-absorption system upon touchdown on the lunar surface which contributes to the safe delivery of our customer's payloads. Our engineers installed each one with care, working together to support the legs while securing them to the lander. Stay tuned for upcoming Mission 2 launch details! #ispace #HAKUTO_R #RESILIENCE #lunarquest #Moon #lunar
