The Story So Far

• ispace, an international lunar exploration company, recently launched its second "Hakuto-R" lunar lander to the moon aboard India's Chandrayaan-2 mission.
• The lander experienced an engine failure during landing.
• ispace is now investigating the cause of the failure.
• The company is already looking ahead to future missions.

It's pretty incredible that ispace is actively pursuing lunar exploration. We can only image the importance of the knowledge we can gain from a mission like this. It will always be a major loss whenever a mission fails, but the important thing is to keep on learning and growing and to stay optimistic.
