This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tokyo-based startup ispace’s (9348.T) lunar lander Hakuto-R Mission 1 failed in April.
JAXA was planning to start SLIM’s moon landing in January-February 2024 after Monday's launch, aiming to follow the success of India's Chandrayaan-3 lunar exploration mission this month.
The rocket was also carrying an X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) satellite, a joint project of JAXA, NASA and the European Space Agency.
H-IIA, jointly developed by JAXA and MHI, has been Japan's flagship space launch vehicle, with a success rate of 98% since 2001.
However, after JAXA's new medium-lift H3 rocket failed on its debut in March, the agency postponed the launch of H-IIA No.
Japan's recent space-related efforts have faced other setbacks, with the launch failure of the Epsilon small rocket in October 2022, followed by an engine explosion during a test last month.
