NASA’s CLPS program accelerates as two landers head for the Moon https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/01/lunar-missions-roundup/ #intuitivemachines #fireflyaerospace #international #commercial #blueghost #featured #hakuto-r #artemis #ispace #lander #other #clps #cnsa #isro #jaxa #moon #nasa #esa #im
And here is the confirmation (because the time given is identical) that #HAKUTO-R M2 is to be launched together with #BlueGhost on the same #Falcon9 to the Moon: https://ispace-inc.com/news-en/?p=6678 - the other mission is not mentioned at all, though, while NASA in turn hadn't mentioned HAKUTO-R in its launch date announcement ... how silly is this, please?

How #HAKUTO-R Mission 1 crashed onto the Moon because its software thought it was much lower than it really was: a slide from today's press conference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owt2u9SJIbU, more in https://twitter.com/cosmos4u/status/1662177553300242441 and a detailled description of the findings in the press release https://ispace-inc.com/news-en/?p=4691
Pensava di essere ormai sulla superficie e invece era ancora a 5 km di altezza: a fare schiantare sulla #Luna il lander giapponese #HAKUTO-R è stato un malfunzionamento nel sistema che calcola l'altitudine

Ecco il punto di impatto sulla Luna del lander giapponese #Hakuto-R, che ha fallito l'allunaggio il 25 aprile. Lo ha fotografato la sonda Lunar Reconnaissance della Nasa

Just in - an LROC image showing "at least four prominent pieces of debris [of the crashed #HAKUTO-R M1 lander] and several small changes" on the lunar surface: go to http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/1302 for this image taken the day after being blinked against an earlier one.
Analysis of #HAKUTO-R Spacecraft Landing on the Moon, 2023-Apr-25 (from amateur radio observations): https://amsat-dl.org/en/analysis-of-hakuto-r-spacecraft-landing-on-the-moon-2023-apr-25/ -> "The ispace HAKUTO-R M1 spacecraft mission was planned to land on Earth’s Moon in or near Atlas crater at 2023-04-25 16:40 utc. But the HAKUTO-R M1 signal ceased abruptly at 16:45:09 utc, and it was immediately clear that the spacecraft had not landed as planned. The final 88s of doppler shift profile indicated free fall, followed by a destructive landing on the Moon"
Vergangene Woche sollte eine Sonde des japanischen Start-ups Ispace auf dem Mond aufsetzen. Es wäre die erste Mondlandung eines privaten Unternehmens gewesen. Aber warum wollen Unternehmen eigentlich auf den Mond?

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 failure follows on the crash of the #Beresheet lander on April 11 2019 that was built by the private Israeli company #SpaceIL.
This year we will see three more landing attempts by the private US companies #Astrobotics and #IntuitiveMachines.
On what happened to the HAKUTO-R M1 spacecraft, which was due to touch down in the Moon’s Atlas crater two days ago
"... there is a high probability that the lander eventually made a hard landing on the Moon’s surface"

#ispace #MoonLander #Hakuto "apparently went into a free-fall towards the surface as it was running out of #fuel
to fire up its thrusters" https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/japans-ispace-prepares-worlds-first-commercial-lunar-landing-2023-04-25
At least when Humanity's fragile steps into the Void go wrong on the Moon, nearby wildlife and human residents are not showered with debris.
Landings are tricky things, Neil Armstrong was seconds away from "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly"
Farewell #HAKUTO-R
From this update from ispace, it sounds like the HAKUTO-R lander ran out of fuel and could not slow down sufficiently before it met the moon. Bummer.
