I suspect it's still related though since an unfortunate cancellation like that (see linked to article) would cause some rethinking of lunar exploration priorities in the agency. Especially since Lunar-A was already a 10 year old mission design when they cancelled it. | |

| Sep 19, 2014 at 2:45 | comment | added | TildalWave | It should be noted here that SELENE (aka Kaguya) launched in September 2007 and ended operations in June 2009 when it was deorbited and the probe impacted the lunar surface. Much has happened since 2009 in Japan, including a devastating earthquake triggering equally devastating tsunami that lead to the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. That some wild plans for lunar ISRU appeared in the following years is hardly surprising - people need hope when all seems lost. But the question asks about a citation (and JAXA's lunar ISRU plans) from 2007. | |
