US EditionNASA Spacecraft Around the Moon Photographs the Crash Site of a Japanese Company’s Lunar Lander
- The Tokyo-based company ispace's Resilience moon lander crashed while attempting to land in Mare Frigoris on June 5, 2025.
- The crash occurred because the lander failed to decelerate sufficiently during descent, and communication was lost shortly after.
- NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured high-resolution images showing the crash site as a dark smudge with a faint bright halo.
- Mission controllers declared it unlikely to restore contact by 8:00 a.m. on June 6, 2025, and decided to conclude the Success 9 mission.
- Company representatives intend to provide details about the mission failure at a press event scheduled for next week, marking ispace’s second unsuccessful attempt at a lunar landing within two years.
