Japanese space company ispace has determined that its lunar lander, Hakuto-R, crashed due to a software error that caused it to mistake its altitude and ultimately run out of fuel. The error was likely caused by the spacecraft's software getting confused by a crater rim it passed over during its descent. Despite the failure, ispace will use the data from the mission to improve future landing sequences for its upcoming missions in 2024 and 2025.
