The spacecraft's laser range finder, or LRF, experienced an anomaly that prevented Resilience from obtaining valid measurements of its distance from the lunar surface.

ISpace's private Resilience Lander will attempt to touch down on the Mare Frigoris region of the moon's surface on June 5, at 3:17 p.m. EDT (1817 GMT). While you won’t be able to see the lander ...

The moon is pictured half-lit during its first quarter phase. The locations of the Aristotles and Eudoxus craters are shown close to Mare Frigoris towards the north, while the Sea of Tranquility ...

Resilience, which is 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) tall and 8.5 feet (2.6 m) wide, is targeting Mare Frigoris, a vast, relatively smooth basaltic plain in the moon's northern hemisphere.

Mare Frigoris is significantly flatter than the Atlas crater region, potentially offering easier-to-navigate terrain. Ispace said in a statement that the new landing site was chosen because it ...

The Mare Frigoris, also known as the Cold Sea, is a region near the Moon’s north pole which scientists have been studying in depth. They completed a survey of more than 12,000 images showing the ...

Japan's attempt to put a privately-owned spacecraft on the Moon appears to have ended in failure. Scheduled to land in the Mare Frigoris region at 16:40 GMT, the Hakuto-R Mission 1 lander lost ...

Their targeted landing site is in a region called Mare Frigoris in the moon’s far north. This will be ispace's second attempt at landing a spacecraft on the moon. In 2023, ...

The Blue Ghost lunar lander on display, January 2025. The 6-foot-6-inches-tall lander will attempt a touchdown on the Moon in early March at Mare Crisium, a volcanic plain in the northern latitudes.
