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.

Private ispace Moon landing fails: researchers are investigating

Mission control have been unable to re-establish contact with the M1 spacecraft, and early signs suggest it crash landed on the lunar surface.

#Beresheet
"The #ceremony of installing the disk containing the #LunarLibrary in the #spacecraft was a #publicity stunt. Delivering the spacecraft to the #LaunchSite was also a #show for the #media – from the transport to Ben Gurion #Airport with the completely #unnecessary #police escort, to its loading onto the cargo plane ✈️.
It seems that the #debate over whether #tardigrades can #survive on the #moon has reached well beyond the #space buffs’ circles https://davidson.weizmann.ac.il/en/online/sciencepanorama/what-happened-beresheet

The Israeli non-profit #SpaceIL recently launched a probe called #Bereshit (Genesis) to the moon. If all goes well, this would be the first NGO to launch a mission to the moon.

One of SpaceIL's heads is Yariv #Bash - Bash gets you to the moon!
