The Japan Times<p>Japanese startup Ispace has concluded that a hardware anomaly in a laser-based landing sensor caused the failure of its Mission 2 lunar landing earlier this month, the company announced Tuesday. <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/24/japan/science-health/ispace-crash-cause/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/</span><span class="invisible">24/japan/science-health/ispace-crash-cause/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>japan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sciencehealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sciencehealth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/startups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>startups</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ispace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ispace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>space</span></a></p>

SpaceMacSpiff<p>Interesting to see that the last data point the iSpace Resilience lander sent was at an altitude of 52m and a speed of 187 km/h.

Ross of Ottawa<p>Well, that was anti-climactic. The stream wrapped up.
