PRIMARY SOURCE

Courtesy of ispace

ispace's live broadcast of its HAKUTO-R Mission 1 lunar landing attempt (April 2023). The attempt failed: the lander lost communication and crashed in the final descent. ispace's Mission 2 'Resilience' (June 2025) also crashed. The autonomous-landing framing is the maker's; both attempts ended in loss of the vehicle.
