The Japanese spacecraft was launched to the moon

The first Japanese lunar landing apparatus of the ISPACE HAKUTO-R started to the moon using the Falcon 9 missile. Interfax reported this with reference to SpaceX.

The launch was carried out from the 40th starting complex based on American space forces at Cape Canaveral in Florida. 47 minutes after the start, the device separated from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket and headed for the moon.

The mission is completely private. Hakuto-R may be the first private spacecraft in history to successfully sat on the moon. The Japanese ISPACE company is developing technologies for robotic space planting devices.

The adjustment of the landing module weighing 1 ton is planned in April 2023 in the atlas crater on the visible side of the moon. It is equipped with devices and will engage in research as a stationary probe.

Together with the Japanese landing device, the size of which is approximately 2 by 2.5 meters, the Rashid Luno Rashidi weighing about 10 kilograms flies to the moon. The micro -over, built by the space center of Mohammed Bin Rashid (UAE), is equipped with two high -resolution cameras, a microscope, a thermal imager and a Lensmur probe.

The Rashid lunar carpet should take photos of the lunar surface and conduct a number of research during its mission, which will last about 14 earth days.
