into the Moon, the landing softened by an inflatable airbag and shock absorption system, where it would study the lunar surface's radiation using a monitor and an accelerometer.
The mission was designed to demonstrate the use of low-cost technology to land and explore the Moon's surface. Alas, the cubesat's radios were unresponsive after launch. According to JAXA, Omotenashi was unable to send commands to initiate a landing sequence during the one time in its orbit it was in the right position to engage its thrusters.
The space org has established a response team for Omotenashi that will investigate the cause of the failure and take future actions. ®
