Japan's company's dream of reaching the moon was shattered, an accident happened during moon landing; CEO had to apologize:

News Topical, Digital Desk : The lunar mission of Japan's private space company Ispace has suffered another setback. Its lander crashed on Friday while attempting to land on the surface of the moon. The company's lunar mission failed in 2023 as well. This was its first attempt.

The Tokyo-based Ispace company declared the mission a failure several hours after contact with the lander was lost (Ispace Lander Crash). Contact was lost two minutes before the scheduled time for landing on the moon. The company's CEO and founder Takeshi Hakamada apologized to all those who contributed to the mission and said that this was Ispace's second lunar mission, which failed.

The company had faced failure two years ago too

Along with the lander named 'Resilience', it also took home a rover and a toy of a Swedish artist to collect soil from the surface of the moon. The company officials have not yet clarified the reasons for the mission failure. They have only said that it is too early to tell about the problems. Two years ago, the company's first lunar mission also crashed during landing.
