A moon lander operated by Tokyo-based ispace Inc. will attempt to land on the moon at around 1:40 a.m. Japan Time on April 26 at the earliest, the startup has announced.
If successful, the space company’s lander would become the world’s first private sector lunar module to land on the moon.Since blasting off in December atop a US rocket, the lander has flown 1.37 million kilometers from Earth. It entered the moon’s orbit in March and has been preparing for landing. On April 26, the lander will begin descending from an altitude of 100 kilometers above the moon at around 12:40 a.m., taking about one hour to land on Atlas, an 87-kilometer-wide crater in the moon’s northern hemisphere, according to the startup’s announcement Wednesday.
