NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has spotted the crash site of Japan's Resilience moon lander. The ispace lander aimed for a historic landing in Mare Frigoris. Communication was lost during ...

NASA, for its part, had already spotted the wreckage. About a week after the crash, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter passed about 50 miles above the landing site, Mare Frigoris — and snapped a photo ...

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.

A laser navigating tool doomed a Japanese company’s lunar lander earlier this month, causing it to crash into the moon.

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

The crash landing was the second for ispace in two years. This time, the company’s lander named Resilience was aiming for the moon’s far north in Mare Frigoris, or the Sea of Cold.

On June 6, the second Hakuto mission, nicknamed Resilience, was set to touch down on a 3.5 billion-year-old volcanic region of the Moon known as Mare Frigoris, or the Sea of Cold. However, hours after ...
