Newslink: Israeli Lunar Lander Suffers Glitch on Way to the Moon

in newslink •  6 years ago 

The world's first private lunar lander has hit a snag en route to the moon.

On Monday (Feb. 25), the Beresheet moon lander built by the Israeli startup SpaceIL missed a planned maneuver to steer the spacecraft along its eight-week journey to the lunar surface. The maneuver was originally scheduled for 5 p.m. EST (12 a.m. local time on Tuesday in Israel) as Beresheet orbited the Earth out of communications range with its mission control center.
