Private Lunar Lander from Japan crashed into the moon in a failed mission star-news.press/wp

Private Lunar Lander from Japan crashed as he tried to dot on Friday, the latest injury in commercial rush to the moon.

Tokyo-based company used a mission failure for a few hours after communication lost with the launcher. The flight controllers boarded to acquire contact, but they met only silence and said they concluded the mission.

Communications ceased less than two minutes before the scheduled guest house on the moon with the mini rovers. Until then, the origin of Lunar orbit seemed good to pass.

The General Manager and Founder of Takeshi Hakamada apologized to everyone who contributed to the mission, another lunar spider for Ivace.

Two years ago, the company first ended in the landing of the collision, which led to the name “resistant” for its successor. The resilience was carried by a rover with a shovel to collect Lunar dirt, as well as the Red House from Swedish placement artists on the moon dusty surface.

Company officials said that it was too early to know whether the same problem condemned both missions.

“This is the second time we couldn’t land. So, we really have to understand very seriously,” Hakamada told reporters. He stressed that the company will press more lunar missions in front of you.

The preliminary analysis indicates the laser system for measuring altitude did not work as planned, and Lander was down too fast, officials said. “Based on these circumstances, it is currently assumed that Lander was probably a hard landing on a lunar area,” the company said in a written statement.

The long provocation of the Government, the moon has become a target of private suits in 2019. year, with more flops than winning the road.

Started in January from Florida on a long, circular journey, resistance entered the lunar orbit last month. He shared a space ride with a fireplace entire spirit, which reached the moon faster and became the first private entity for the successful land in March.

Another American company, intuitive machines, have arrived a few days after Firefly. But tall, spindle land planted in the crater near the moon’s southern sex and was declared dead within hours.

The resilience was targeted at the top of the month, a smaller treacherous place from the shady bottom. The iSPACE team chose a flat space with a little bouldard in Kobilica or the sea of ​​cold, long and narrow regions of full crater and ancient flow lions that extend across the northern level nearby.

The plans called for 7.5 ft resistance to take pictures within time and Lander to lower the piggybacking rover to the lunar surface this weekend.

Made of carbon plastic with four wheels, iSPACE European Rover – named RENSSIN FUTERS COMERA for reconnaissance area and shovel to pull on the side of lunar dirt for NASA.

Rover, weighs only 11 kilograms, it went to hold close to the launcher, enter the circles at a speed of less than one inch in seconds. It was capable of waiving up to two-thirds miles from the launcher and should be operational during the two-week mission, daylight period.

In addition to the experiments of science and technology, there was an artistic touch.

Rover was holding a tiny, Swedish a bread cottage with a white lining and green door, he called the moon’s house Creator Mikael Genberg, for placement on the lunar surface.

The minutes before attempting to land, Hakamada assured everything that the iSPACE learned from its first failed mission. “Engineers have done everything that could” provide success this time, he said.

He considered the latest moons “just stepping stone” to his larger Lander who launched until 2027. years with NASA involved.

Ivace, like other companies, has no “infinite funds” and I can’t afford the repeated omissions, Jeremy Fix, the main engineer for the U.S. auxiliary subsidiary, said at the conference last month.

Although the cost of the current mission is not revealed, the company officials said it was less than the first of the first of 100 million dollars.

Two other US companies target the landing month by a year: Jeff Bezos’ blue origin and astrobotic technology. The first lunar land of Astrobotić missed the moon in full in 2024. years and returned through the Earth’s atmosphere.
