Moon Program
JAXA plans to land a human rated rover on the Moon by 2029
JAXA Pressurized Rover
The rover would be able to house two astronauts for several weeks at a time.
JAXA is planning manned missions to explore five different locations near the moon's southern pole between 2029 and 2034. For each mission, the astronauts will be based in the rover for 42 days, during which time they will be able to leave the vehicle to explore their surroundings. Once they depart, the vehicle will drive thousands of kilometers to the next location to wait for the next mission.
JAXA scientists believe that the Moon is likely to have ice deposits in its polar regions and that this could be electrolyzed into oxygen and hydrogen to provide fuel for space missions from the moon.
