Built in the UAE, the lander is to be transferred to the University of Colorado Boulder’s LASP laboratory for integration with the MBR Explorer and further testing. Teams are working on subsystem assembly and integration; tests of the complete spacecraft and final readiness reviews remain ahead.
The mission is intended to study seven asteroids and deploy the lander near 269 Justitia to capture detailed images. Its scientific goals include the composition and history of water-rich asteroids. These mission stages and scientific findings remain future objectives; the reported tests do not mean that the mission has already launched.
