Following a December launch from Florida, Japanese private space company ispace attempted to put its Hakuto-R M1 lander on the surface of the moon on Tuesday. The team lost contact.
The Japanese company ispace fell short of its goal of becoming the first private entity to land on the moon Tuesday. – something no other private business has done.
"We already confirmed that we have established the communication until [the] very end of the landing," Hakamada continued. "However, now we lost the communication. So, we have to assume that… we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface." This illustration provided by ispace in April 2023 depicts the Hakuto spacecraft on the surface of the moon with the Earth in the background."The site meets the technical specifications of the lander technology demonstration mission, the scientific exploration objectives for the [Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre] mission, as well as the mission requirements of our other customers," ispace, which was founded in 2010, said on Twitter.
