Around 2 hours ago, iSpace called Mission 2 to be completed, as the resilience lander failed to land. Mission Control will continue to analyze the telemetry data to determine the cause of the issue.

After communication with the lander was lost, iSpace tried to reboot the lander but was unable to reestablish communication. It is currently not expected that there was a successful landing on the lunar surface.

Therefore, iSpace assumes that the lander could not decelerate sufficiently to slow down in time for a safe landing. The Resilience lander likely performed a hard landing on the lunar surface.

According to Mission Control, the laser rangefinder responsible for measuring the distance to the lunar surface experienced delays in obtaining valid measurement values.

However, as the lander was in a nearly vertical position, telemetry was lost, and no data indicating a successful landing was received, as was observed yesterday evening.

Update to iSpace Mission 2:
iSpace has published a statement regarding the status of the Resilience lander. The lander began the descent phase as expected. At an altitude of 20 kilometers, the main engines fired as planned.

Mission 3 and 4 are already in planing to launch in 2027. The new lander will be over 3 meters huge and can carry several 100 kilograms and can reach the moon in around 1 month, which is much faster than Mission 2.

After 14 days the mission is coming to an end, as the moon day ends. The rover and will drive to the moon sunset. But now the rover is landing in the moon morning. A moon day takes around 14 days.

10 Minutes to landing. After landing the rover deployment will be prepared.
48 hours after landing the teams will go into a 24 hours surveillance state of the rover.

The rover will be searching for water and other fluid chemicals like liquid hydrogen and others to find out which resources are available on the moon. A first step for a self catering space station on the moon.

Around 18 kilometres above the moon surface the speed reduction begins, as in the next phase the lander will stand almost vertical before slowly landing on the propose landing site.

Several Japanese officials thank the whole team for the great work, saying that this landing is a sign of "never give up" and message to the world that you can make everything possible.

TENACIOUS will be the first European rover landing and operating on the moon. The rover will be controlled by the iSpace subsidiary in Luxembourg and the control signals will be transmitted via ESOC to the rover.
