Private moon land closed with an undeveloped moon at the top of the moon

Four and a half months after launch on the Falcon 9 rockets, the private Japanese lunar land is finally a descent on Thursday. This comes two years after the first map of the company ended with gas and crashed to the surface of the moon.

It was hoped that the Earth, the carrying cameras, some scientific instruments and the tiny rover, would fall out of 62 miles of high orbit and touch down at 3:17 p.m. EDT near the Mare Frigoris Center-Šaltis Sea-Medulis in the northern hemisphere 60 degrees Northern latitude.

“We will not only land the Earth’s resistance to 2 mission, our second attempt to land on the moon, but will also use the mechanism for the Tenacious Rover, which we created at home, deployed the lunar surface,” Ryo Ujiie said on the company’s website.

Tenacious will inspect the lunar surface, install a customer useful cargo and collect Regolith. Resistance will continue to manage customer usefulness on board and transmit valuable telemetry data to our mission control center. “

The customer’s useful cargo is a small Swedish house model designed by the artist Mikael Genberg. Traditionally, a red and white house is only 4.7 -inch long and 4 -inch height and weighs just 3.5 ounces.

Asked why he had taken up a project that needed a year planning, collection and engineering, Genberg said that “we were occasionally like people’s things that (not) seem to have a goal not only creatively.”

“For example, the Eiffel Tower, for example, I mean it’s a stupid thing,” he said. “Today, he has a goal, because perhaps the most important thing is that Paris becomes the most visited city of the world.”

Although the Moonhouse will remain for thousands, if not for millions of years without any air environment, its individual paint will disappear in the harsh sunlight, and the lunar dust will gradually cover its surface. Genberg joked that he would be happy to wait for the invitation to repaint him.

The house will be dropped from Rover a few days after landing, and the team expects to capture photos with the ground in the background. The cost of the project was not revealed, but the representative said it was like what could be paid for a relatively large house on Earth.

Ispace is one of the few companies trying to provide non -governmental transport services to the moon for various useful loads, from scientific instruments to technology demonstrations.

However, as it turns out, it is very difficult to get a cheap spacecraft to the lunar surface.

Ispace tried and Failed 2023 When his first Lander ran through the source, approaching the surface, descending into a “solid” accident. Astrobotic technology in Pittsburgh started its Peregrine Lander 2024 JanuaryHowever, the spacecraft suffered a drainage system and never entered the moon.

Houston -based intuitive machines successfully placed two landsrs on the lunar surface 2024 And again earlier this yearBut both spacecraft overturned. Although everyone survived their landing, no one could achieve all their goals before the flight.

By Thursday, only one company, located in Austine Firefly Aerospace, has successfully touched and performed its mission, landed Blue Ghost spacecraft on March 253 years after the final Apollo mission.

Resistance and blue ghost was launched on one of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on January 15th.; The Blue Ghost Lander chose a direct way to the moon and made a successful landing that operates throughout the two -week “Moon Day”.

Resistance followed a longer, low -energy trajectory, which carried it through its target, using the lunar severity to restore it initially elliptical orbit and finally, using his trauma, to a 100 kilometer (62 mile) circular orbit.
