US EditionBuilding the 'Moonhouse': Q&A with Artist Mikael Genberg
- On June 5, 2025, the tiny red Swedish cottage called Moonhouse is set to land on the lunar surface near Mare Frigoris.
- The landing follows a 26-year effort by artist Mikael Genberg, whose idea began in 1999, and builds on ispace's earlier 2023 mission that lost contact during touchdown.
- The European-made rover Tenacious, weighing 5kg and controlled remotely from Luxembourg 400,000 km away, will carry the Moonhouse and a scoop for collecting moon dust.
- Dr Julien Lamamy, ispace EUROPE's CEO, called the first sale of moon dust to NASA for $5,000 "a big deal," emphasizing the mission's technical and commercial significance.
- If the landing and deployment succeed, the mission will symbolize human imagination and home, inspiring reflection on Earth's fragility and marking a landmark for private lunar exploration.
