All you need to know about Hakuto-R Moon landing mission | English News | WION

On Tuesday, Tokyo's ispace will make what may be a historic effort to land its spacecraft on the Moon's surface. The lander is equipped with a miniature rover that the United Arab Emirates produced. No other private firm has successfully landed a probe on the surface of the moon, therefore the Japanese corporation is trying a unique feat. The Hakuto spacecraft, which is Japanese for "white rabbit," was launched from Earth in December of last year and landed in lunar orbit a month ago.

TOKYO, April 25 (Reuters) - Japanese startup ispace (9348.T) assumed its attempt to make the first private moon landing had failed on Tuesday as engineers struggled to regain contact with the company's Hakuto-R Mission 1 (M1) lander long after it was due for a lunar touchdown.
"We lost the communication, so we have to assume that we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface, " ispace Chief Executive Takeshi Hakamada said on a company live stream, as mission control engineers in Tokyo continued to try regaining contact with its lander.
