On May 7th, the Japanese space exploration company ispace announced that its HAKUTO-R RESILIENCE lander entered lunar orbit after completing a 9-minute thruster burn. It’s now in a stable lunar orbit, and operators will spend the next month testing and preparing for its landing attempt on June 5. This is the company’s second attempt at landing on the Moon, after the first attempt crashed in 2023. It’s carrying a micro-rover and several science experiments.
