Japan’s Records spacecraft crashed! Broken contact shortly before landing on the moon – Japan’s setback spacecraft
Japan’s highly anticipated lunar work has suffered a major setback. Chandrayaan ‘Rasilians’ manufactured by the country’s private space agency, Ispase, may have been involved in the accident while landing in the Moon’s Mare Fricoris area. Although the mission position has not yet been officially confirmed, the possibility of Chandranyan’s accident has increased due to the sudden contact with the last stage of the landing.
What happened during the work?
The backbone vehicle began to descend from the 100 km orbit. This is going to be a soft landing on the moon, the first private moon in Japan. A few minutes before the landing, if the vehicle slowed down and lifted the intrigue, the surface was 5 kilometers high. But as soon as the vehicle approached, all the telemetry data were suddenly stopped, and the livestream of the Ispase was stopped.
Ham radio operators also confirmed
Ham radio operators around the world recorded the breakdown of the vehicle’s signal at that time, which matches the landing time.
The first attempt of Ispace also failed
This is the second lunar task of Ispase. Earlier, the first attempt made in 2023 was deactivated after communication.
What has been said so far?
No clear statement has been made by Ispase. The company only said that the vehicle was working to ensure whether the vehicle had landed or failed. The company’s CEO Takashi Hakamata had earlier stated that the task would be a historical step towards the Sislner economy based on lunar resources.
Why is this task important?
Science -related materials, a small Rover and international shareholders were shipped to a vehicle with equipment. When successful, it would have become Japan’s first private vehicle to land on the moon.
What’s next now?
ISPACE has launched a technical investigation, reflecting on the technical problems of landing on the moon and experts believe that this is an important lesson for the private space sector.
