The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has reaffirmed its strategic partnership with the French space agency, CNES, as it prepares for the Emirates Lunar Mission’s Rashid Rover 2, scheduled to be launched to the surface of the Moon in 2026. Building on the successful cooperation initiated with the first Rashid Rover, both organisations are working closely to enhance the scientific and technological capabilities of the new mission. Under the new agreement, CNES will provide two cameras and a CASPEX module, proven in previous space missions, to be installed on Rashid Rover 2. These cameras will equip Rashid Rover 2 to deliver high-resolution imagery to support scientific objectives on the lunar surface. Rashid Rover 2 will also be equipped with other advanced scientific instruments to study the lunar plasma environment, geology, and thermal conditions.
