LiveScience has reported that ground control lost contact with the Japanese moon lander Hakuto-R, also called Resilience, during its attempted landing on June 5, 2025. The lander was carrying the first European-built rover, named “Tenacity”, which is now feared lost.
From the article:
“The status of a private Japanese moon lander—which was carrying Europe’s first lunar rover—is in question after ground control suddenly lost contact with the spacecraft on Thursday (June 5). Mission control lost contact with the lander, known as “Resilience,” at 3:17 p.m ET, just as it was attempting a lunar touchdown.
“After several hours, ground control has yet to reestablish contact with the lander, and the status of its payload is unknown.”
