Ispace Lunar Lander Attempts Moon Touchdown

The Japanese company Ispace's lunar lander, Resilience, attempted to land on the moon at approximately 3:17 p.m. ET. Mission controllers have not yet reestablished contact with the spacecraft. If successful, Resilience would be among the first private-sector lunar landers built outside the United States to land safely on the moon, marking a significant step in commercial space exploration.
