NASA, for its part, had already spotted the wreckage. About a week after the crash, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter passed about 50 miles above the landing site, Mare Frigoris — and snapped a photo ...

The spacecraft's laser range finder, or LRF, experienced an anomaly that prevented Resilience from obtaining valid measurements of its distance from the lunar surface.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has spotted the crash site of Japan's Resilience moon lander. The ispace lander aimed for a historic landing in Mare Frigoris. Communication was lost during ...

Resilience used a series of thruster burns to descend, decelerate and steer its way toward a landing in Mare Frigoris, a vast basaltic plain that lies about 56 degrees north of the lunar equator.

ISpace's private Resilience Lander will attempt to touch down on the Mare Frigoris region of the moon 's surface on June 5, at 3:17 p.m. EDT (1817 GMT). While you won’t be able to see the lander ...

Update for 5 p.m. ET: The Japanese company ispace attempted to land its Resilience moon lander on the plains of Mare Frigoris (Sea of Cold) on the moon today at 3:17 p.m. ET, but lost contact with ...

Mare Frigoris is significantly flatter than the Atlas crater region, potentially offering easier-to-navigate terrain. Ispace said in a statement that the new landing site was chosen because it ...

The Mare Frigoris, also known as the Cold Sea, is a region near the Moon’s north pole which scientists have been studying in depth. They completed a survey of more than 12,000 images showing the ...

Some of the most prominent features in Mare Frigoris measure up to an incredible 250 miles (400km) in length – more than the distance from New York City to Washington DC.

The study area, which is an elongated mare, Mare Frigoris and northern Mare Imbrium, was mapped and characterized into 27 units based on multi-source data, including spectrum, terrain, and element ...

Parallel wrinkle ridges flanking the Mare Frigoris border structure may also reflect structural control of the wrinkle ridges by buried tectonic structures.

Mare Nubium, the Sea of Clouds, has an unusually dark floor. Mare Frigoris, the Sea of Cold, is most unusual in appearance. Instead of the typical circular plain, Mare Frigoris stretches over ...
