Japanese company ispace lost communication with its Hakuto-R lander just moments before it was supposed to touch down on the lunar surface.

“At this moment, we have not been able to confirm successful landing on the lunar surface,” ispace CEO Takeshi Hakamada said on the company’s livestream. “Currently, we have not confirmed the communication from the lander. […] We have to assume that we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface. ”
