The Emirates Lunar Mission, which would have seen the deployment of the United Arab Emirates- (UAE-) developed Rashid rover on the moon’s surface, has failed. Private Japanese space exploration company iSpace was unable to establish communication with its Hakuto-R Mission 1 (M1) lander – which carried the Rashid rover as its primary payload – during its attempted landing on the moon's surface at about 18:40 on April 25.
