Japanese Lunar Lander disrupted while trying to land

A special lunar floor was shattered by Japan while trying to touch the land on Friday, which is the latest injuries to the commercial rush to the moon.

Tokyo -based ISPace has announced the task of failure several hours after losing contact with Lander. The flying control units stood to restore the connection, but they were only silently and said they were concluding the mission.

The communications stopped less than two minutes before the satellite vehicle located on the moon’s surface landed by a small path. Until then, the landing from the moon’s orbit seemed to go well.

The CEO and the founder, Takeshi Hakamada, apologized to everyone who contributed to the mission, which is the second lunar strike for ISPace.

Two years ago, The first moon of the company It also ended in the fall of a crash, which led to the name “flexibility” for Lander.

“This is the second time that we have not been able to land. So we really have to take it seriously,” Hakamada told reporters. He stressed that the company will press forward with more lunar tasks.

A possible problem with the laser system

The officials said that the initial analysis indicates that the laser system to measure the height did not succeed as planned, and the injured person fell very quickly.

The company said in a written statement, “Based on these circumstances, it is currently supposed to be a difficult performance on the moon,” the company said in a written statement.

For a long time in the province of governments, the moon became a target for private clothes in 2019, with more fluctuations from winning along the way.

It was launched in January from Florida on a long journey, roundabout, flexibility entered the moon’s orbit last month. He – she Participate in a Spacex trip With Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost, Which reached the moon faster It became the first special entity to succeed in landing there in March.

Another American company, intuitive machines, The moon arrived A few days after Al -Warraa. But the long long inverted in the face in a hole near the southern pole of the moon and declared dead within hours.

Flexibility was targeting the top of the moon, which is a place less strange than the mysterious bottom. The ISPACE team chose a flat area with a little rocks in Mary Frigoris, or a cold sea, which is a long and tight area full of drilling and old lava flows that extend across the northern layer of the nearby side.

The engineers did everything “possible

The plans have called for the elasticity of 2.3 meters to prepare the rear images within hours and for the distance to reduce the Rover Rover on the moon this weekend.

Made of carbon fiber-augmented plastic with four wheels, ISPace, which was created by the European-called Tenacious-a high-resolution camera to explore the region and shovel to overcome some NASA lunar dirt.

Rover, which weighs only five kilograms, would stick to the landing, and go in circles at a speed of a few centimeters per second. She was able to adventure up to one kilometer of Lander.

Minutes before trying to land, Hakamada confirmed everyone who learned ISPace from his first failed mission. “The engineers did everything they could” to ensure success this time.

Monchott was considered “just a starting point” for the largest Handner, which was launched by 2027 with the participation of NASA.

Jeremy Lake, chief engineer at the company’s company company, said at the conference last month that ISPace, like other companies, does not have “unlimited money” and cannot afford frequent failure.

Although the cost of this last task was not revealed, the company officials said it was less than the first of more than $ 100 million.

Two other American companies aim at Moon a decline by the end of the year: the origin of the Blue Bizos and Astronomical Technology. The first moon’s land in Astrobooth was completely mistaken in 2024 and returned across the Earth’s atmosphere.

For decades, governments competed to reach the moon. Only five countries withdrew the successful lunar landing operations: Russia, the United States, China, India and Japan. Among them, the United States only landed on the surface of the moon: 12 NASA astronauts from 1969 to 1972.

NASA expects to send four astronauts around the moon next year. This will be followed after a year or more from the first moon’s first landing by a crew in more than half a century, with the SPACEX elevator category from the moon’s orbit to the surface. China also has landing plans in Moon for its astronauts by 2030.
