United Launch Alliance
On January 8, 2024, United Launch Alliance (ULA) marked the beginning of a new era of space capabilities with the successful inaugural launch of its Vulcan rocket.
Vulcan introduces new innovative capabilities to meet the changing landscape and requirement of space launch, while leveraging the best of more than 120 combined years of launch experience with Atlas and Delta. Vulcan provides the highest-value launch service with optimal performance to meet the full range of customer needs. Vulcan will leverage the world’s highest-performing upper stage to deliver on ULA’s industry-leading legacy of reliability and precision. Centaur V’s matchless flexibility and extreme endurance enables the most complex orbital insertions within the most challenging and clandestine orbits.
ispace
The ispace Mission 1 (M1) team stands as a pioneer in space exploration with the successful launch and voyage of the first commercial mission to the Moon.
In December 2022 ispace launched HAKUTO-R Mission 1, which embarked on its journey with aspirations of a Moon landing in April 2023. Despite a hard landing, the spacecraft operated nominally for 135 days in space, achieving 8 out of its 10 mission milestones. This feat was the first contribution to a global effort towards the commercialization of space exploration. Furthermore, Mission 1 facilitated access to lunar exploration for a diverse array of entities, thereby democratizing space access for both established and emerging spacefaring nations.
