Israel with a mission to the moon – The mission fails, the ship crashes and is destroyed
Read Time:35 Second
The first privately funded spacecraft has been destroyed after crashing into the surface of the Moon.
The reason for its crash was a defect in the main engine. The Israeli spacecraft called Beresheet attempted a soft landing on the moon, but suffered a technical problem during its descent to the lunar surface.
The purpose of the mission was to take pictures and conduct experiments, reports the BBC.
Only government space agencies from the former Soviet Union, the US and China have successfully landed on the Moon.
“We didn’t make it, but we definitely tried,” said the project’s initiator, Morris Kahn.
Beresheet was a joint project between SpaceIL, a privately funded Israeli non-profit organization and Israel Space Industries.
