The spacecraft's laser range finder, or LRF, experienced an anomaly that prevented Resilience from obtaining valid measurements of its distance from the lunar surface.

ISpace's private Resilience Lander will attempt to touch down on the Mare Frigoris region of the moon's surface on June 5, at 3:17 p.m. EDT (1817 GMT). While you won’t be able to see the lander ...

The moon is pictured half-lit during its first quarter phase. The locations of the Aristotles and Eudoxus craters are shown close to Mare Frigoris towards the north, while the Sea of Tranquility ...

Mare Frigoris is significantly flatter than the Atlas crater region, potentially offering easier-to-navigate terrain. Ispace said in a statement that the new landing site was chosen because it ...

Resilience, which is 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) tall and 8.5 feet (2.6 m) wide, is targeting Mare Frigoris, a vast, relatively smooth basaltic plain in the moon's northern hemisphere.

The images show a dark smudge where the lander, named Resilience, and its mini rover crashed into Mare Frigoris or Sea of Cold, a volcanic region in the moon’s far north.

Mare Frigoris is significantly flatter than the Atlas crater region, potentially offering easier-to-navigate terrain. Ispace said in a statement that the new landing site was chosen because it ...

The Mare Frigoris, also known as the Cold Sea, is a region near the Moon’s north pole which scientists have been studying in depth. They completed a survey of more than 12,000 images showing the ...

Their targeted landing site is in a region called Mare Frigoris in the moon’s far north. This will be ispace's second attempt at landing a spacecraft on the moon. In 2023, ...

The study area, which is an elongated mare, Mare Frigoris and northern Mare Imbrium, was mapped and characterized into 27 units based on multi-source data, including spectrum, terrain, and element ...

The most prominent candidate ring structures are the mare shorelines and scarps on the western edge of Oceanus Procellarum and the northern edge of Mare Frigoris 5 (Fig. 1a; Extended Data Fig. 1).
