Japan’s ispace says spacecraft carrying UAE’s Rashid rover probably crashed on Moon – The National

Japan's ispace says its spacecraft that was carrying the UAE's Rashid rover probably crashed as it tried to land on the Moon on Tuesday.

Mission control in Tokyo lost contact with the Hakuto-R Mission 1 lander moments before touchdown was expected.

Early on Wednesday, ispace said that its engineers were still investigating what had happened.
