The Japanese private space company ispace is set to make a historic moon landing this week.
The company's Reslience lunar lander will attempt to land in Mare Frigoris ("Sea of Cold") on Thursday.
The company will stream the landing attempt online via a live webcast on ispace's YouTube page, beginning about one hour before landing.
Resilience is ispace's second lunar lander. The first reached lunar orbit but failed during its touchdown try in April 2023.
If Resilience succeeds on June 5, the lander will deploy a small rover called Tenacious and also operate a suite of scientific instruments on the lunar surface.
