The Emirates Lunar Mission (Arabic: مشروع الإمارات لاستكشاف القمر) was the first mission to the Moon from the United Arab Emirates.[2]
The mission by Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) sent a lunar rover named Rashid to the Moon aboard ispace's Hakuto-R Mission 1 lander.[1][3] It was launched on 11 December 2022 on a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket,[4] and the rover attempted to land in Atlas crater.[5][6] On 25 April 2023, seconds before an attempted landing, communication with the Hakuto-R lander was lost.[6] The ispace team confirmed that the spacecraft had crashed into the Moon and was thus destroyed.[7][8]
