Japanese company ispace says its probe was just 33 feet away from landing on the moon when it lost contact.
Japanese space company ispace says its mission to land an unmanned probe on the moon appears to have failed.
Mission controllers lost contact with the probe Wednesday when it had nearly completed its descent. The last communication from the probe came when it was just 33 feet above the moon's surface, while it was traveling at about 16 miles per hour. The probe was carrying a rover from the United Arab Emirates Space Agency, and a small robot from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
Takeshi Hakamada, the Founder and CEO of ispace, said engineers would investigate what had happened. He said regardless of the outcome of this mission, the company would proceed with another probe launch in 2024.So far, no private moon mission has succeeded. Israeli nonprofit SpaceIL sent a robotic mission of its own in 2019, but it too lost contact with its probe in the moments before it would have landed on the surface.
