NASA Discovers Crashed Japanese Moon Lander

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has spotted the impact site of the Japanese Moon lander, Hakuto-R, which crashed into the lunar surface during its attempt to become the first private company to safely land a robot on the Moon. The LRO released the first images of the impact site, which required scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center and Arizona State University to carefully hunt for changes to the lunar surface. While the loss of the Hakuto lander is disappointing, ispace plans to press on with at least two more missions.
