Update: The ispace mission to Atlas Crater ended 8:00 a.m. JST, April 26, 2023, when the lander ran out of fuel, about 80 metres from its intended landing site. It most likely crashed.
The ispace Mission 1 is now registed as an Impact Zone by the Lunar Resources Registry and maps will be updated to reflect this.
The primary landing site for our HAKUTO-R Mission 1 is Atlas Crater, located in the northeastern quadrant of the Moon. (1/3)
