As interest in lunar exploration continues to expand, the gathering provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on the opportunities ahead for the space industry and discuss the next steps toward sustainable lunar development.

We were especially pleased to host our esteemed Lunar Advisory Board members, Mr. Jean-Jacques Dordain, Mr. Yoshinori Komiya, Dr. Tom Ochinero, and Dr. Alan Stern, whose insights continue to help guide ispace's long-term vision.

Amongst industry representatives in attendance were Dr. Nicola ""Nicky"" Fox, Associate Administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, and Dr. Hiroshi Yamakawa, President of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Dr. Fox also added her signature to our Mission Control signature wall, joining the many partners, customers, and supporters who have been part of our journey to the Moon.

Thank you to everyone who attended! Through open dialogue and collaboration across industry, academia, and government, we move closer to unlocking the opportunities of the Moon."
