Tokyo-based company ispace, which develops spacecraft technology and builds landers and rovers, tried to land its unmanned Mission 1 lunar lander on the northeastern sector of the moon. However, as the spacecraft reached its final 30 feet of descent while traveling at 16 mph, the control team lost contact with it. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/moon-landing-spacecraft-japan-uae-555ec67e1150f8008b65243e3a6179d2?utm_source=homepage&#038;utm_medium=TopNews&#038;utm_campaign=position_07\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, ispace CEO Takeshi Hakamada said, \u201cWe have to assume that we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The seven-foot-tall moon lander was carrying a mini lunar rover sent by the United Arab Emirates and also had a robot from Japan intended to roll around in the moon dust. The moon lander also carried other scientific research equipment and payloads from government agencies and companies in the U.S. and Canada. Despite the unsuccessful landing, ispace had completed eight of the 10 milestones for the Mission 1 lunar lander, and they have a $73 million contract with NASA to fly cargo to the moon\u2019s surface in 2025. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Only the U.S., Russia, and China have successfully landed a spacecraft on the moon. An Israeli nonprofit organization attempted a moon landing in 2019, but its craft was destroyed during an attempted landing. The failed landing from ispace comes just days after American rocket company SpaceX attempted to launch the largest rocket ever built, which unfortunately exploded during the stage of separation from its boosters. However, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk remained optimistic, saying that his employees \u201clearned a lot\u201d for the next test launch. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1682517572037000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0eoxTLnzKr3rl49f2LXGnU\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Japanese company attempting to become the first private entity to land a spacecraft on the moon said its attempt to make history was unsuccessful Tuesday.\u00a0 Tokyo-based company ispace, which develops spacecraft technology and builds landers and rovers, attempted to land its unmanned Mission 1 lunar lander on the northeastern sector of the moon around<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":1919351,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[5124,5425,9750,10624,4318,8554,7876,4070,8425,12898],"class_list":["post-1919350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-attempting","tag-company","tag-contact","tag-landing","tag-loses","tag-moments","tag-moon","tag-private","tag-spacecraft","tag-touchdown"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1919350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/324"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1919350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1919350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1919351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1919350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1919350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1919350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
