Unsolved Lunar Mysteries: Missing Space Gear and Failed Landings

Japan's Ispace lost contact with its lunar lander, which was on a mission to complete Japan's first successful moon landing. The company believes the lander made a hard landing on the moon's surface due to low propellant and misjudged altitude. China's Zhurong Mars rover also stopped communicating in May 2022, and Beijing believes it has not woken up due to a lack of sunlight reaching the minimum level for power generation. A NASA probe located the rover, which had explored the Martian surface for 358 days and traveled for 1,921 meters.
