The process will take approximately one hour.”
While the Sora-Q and the Rashid will spend time examining the geological properties of the lunar surface, the mission is primarily a test event aimed at proving iSpace’s ability to successfully land a payload on the lunar surface. Two other nations — India and Israel — have also attempted to land on the moon in separate missions in 2019, but both efforts failed. India is preparing to try again in a couple of months’ time.A livestream will begin at 8:20 a.m. PT. You can watch it via the player embedded at the top of this page, or by heading to iSpace’s YouTube channel, which will show the same footage.
