In April 2023, a private Japanese company attempted to land on the moon but failed. The reason given by the Ispace company at the time was an incorrect altitude calculation of the lander. If the state-owned Jaxa is successful with “SLIM”, the data collected on the moon will be used as part of the US-led “Artemis” project. With this program, NASA wants to bring people to the moon again after more than 50 years – however, the lunar landing mission “Artemis 3” was recently postponed to September 2026./ln/DP/jha
