The Japanese mission #HAKUTO-R was supposed to land on the #Moon two days ago, but it is now believed that the spacecraft crashed into the surface. This spacecraft was built by the privately funded company #ispace.

This failure follows on the crash of the #Beresheet lander on April 11 2019 that was built by the private Israeli company #SpaceIL.

This year we will see three more landing attempts by the private US companies #Astrobotics and #IntuitiveMachines.

So sad to hear #Beresheet did not make a safe landing
Hugs to the #Beresheet team, it's been a huge accomplishment anyway

Last we saw was the vertical speed accelerating and past the redline. That was due to loss of Main Engine. They got the engine back on, but lost communication with the spacecraft shortly afterward.

Now we're into fingers crossed status for Beresheet.
