Japanese Company Expects Award Payments To Offset Decline

Japanese lunar infrastructure provider ispace Inc. has reported an 85% drop in sales and a deeper operating loss in the three months ending June 30, compared to last year. The decline is attributed to the revenue from its Mission 2 and early revenue from its Mission 5, a lunar lander contract with NASA, which was cancelled in July. Despite the setback, ispace expects award payments to offset the decline and remains committed to meeting its full-year sales target. This development was first reported by Space Intel Report.
