The Japanese mission #HAKUTO-R was supposed to land on the #Moon two days ago, but it is now believed that the spacecraft crashed into the surface. This spacecraft was built by the privately funded company #ispace.

This year we will see three more landing attempts by the private US companies #Astrobotics and #IntuitiveMachines.
