Japanese company’s spacecraft crashed while trying to land on the moon

Tokyo. A Japanese company’s spacecraft crashed on Wednesday while trying to land on the moon. Communication with the vehicle was lost due to the accident and flight controllers are trying to find out what happened there. More than six hours after contact was lost, the Tokyo-based company iSpace confirmed what everyone suspected. The company said there is a “high probability” that the vehicle crashed while trying to land on the lunar surface. This is very disappointing for ‘iSpace’, as it has been working on this mission for about four and a half months, which aimed to successfully land a spacecraft on the lunar surface.

So far only three countries have been able to do this. Takeshi Hakamada, the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of ‘iSpace’, hoped to land safely on the moon even after the vehicle lost contact. Hakamada and his co-workers looked inconsolable as they announced the spacecraft had crashed during its attempt to land on the Moon. An official statement said, “It is believed that the vehicle crashed while landing on the lunar surface.” If this mission is successful, ‘iSpace’ will become the first private company to land a spacecraft on the lunar surface. caste.

However, Hakamada is determined to try again, saying that work has already begun on sending a probe to the lunar surface next year. So far only the official space agencies of Russia, the US and China have been able to successfully land on the lunar surface. An Israeli non-profit organization tried to land a vehicle on the lunar surface in 2019, but could not succeed.
