Inside the sphere: How Eight360 is revolutionising virtual training and immersive simulation
Virtual reality has long pushed the boundaries of simulation, but New Zealand’s Eight360 has taken immersion to an entirely new orbit. Its groundbreaking NOVA platform – a fully motion-controlled, transparent sphere – delivers true physical sensation and haptic feedback for users navigating complex virtual environments for NZ Defense Force. Now, that same technology is being deployed by Texas A&M University’s ASTRO Lab, where researchers are developing ultra high-fidelity, physically accurate simulations of the Moon and Mars. -

"
No, Starship’s latest success doesn’t favor the US over China in landing humans on Luna
"
".. the fact is no other system involved in either Artemis or China’s architecture is nearly as complex as Starship."
"Simply put, NASA’s road to the Moon has been inching through Starship."https://jatan.space/moon-monday-issue-240/

Tokyo-based private firm ispace's second attempt to land on the moon has failed.
The ispace team said at a press conference that it lost contact with M2 when the craft was 192 metres above the Moon’s surface and descending faster than expected. An attempt to reboot M2 was also unsuccessful. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01751-3 #Space #Moon #ispace #HAKUTO_R #Lunarlanding

Some statistics about all robotic #LunarLanding attempts so far from 1965 to 2025 compiled from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_the_Moon and https://scicomm.xyz/@AkaSci@fosstodon.org/114636519291241321 in which I only count those for which descent to the surface had been initiated, not missions lost at launch or on the way - in a nutshell ~70% of all landings by government agencies went well (essentially the same rate 60 years ago and now!) but only ~30% by private companies. Here goes ...
There have been two separate periods of soft lunar landing attempts of ca. a dozen years each, from 1965 to 1976 and 2013 to 2025 (ongoing) with a huge gap between them.
In the first interval there were 20 attempts with 13 successes (Luna 9, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 24 and Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7), one partial success (Luna 23, counting as 50%) and 6 failures (Luna 5, 7, 8, 15 and 18 and Surveyor 4), so the success rate was 13.5/20 = 68 %. All missions were by - the Soviet and U.S. - governments.
In the second interval there were so far 14 attempts with 6 full successes (Chang'e-3, 4, 5 and 6, Vikram 2 and Blue Ghost), three partial successes (SLIM, IM-1 and 2, counting as 75%, 50% and 25%, respectively) and 5 failures (Beresheet, Vikram 1, Hakuto-R 1 and 2 and Luna 25) so the success rate was 7.5 / 14 = 54%.
But looking only at the government missions it was 72%, slighly up from 50+ years ago. While for the commercial attempts it was only 29%. In total the success rate was 19 (18 government-run) missions out of 34 (28) attempts or 62% but 69% for governments only. And if you throw in the 6 Apollo landings, the total success rate rises to 68% and the government-only rate goes even up to 75%.

I was reading about the most recent tipped over lunar landers, and I heard about the Surveyor program. Somehow I had forgotten/never known that NASA had landed unmanned landers on the moon. It is super impressive that they suceeded. But the craziest achievement is that Apollo 12 landed at the same site, within 600ft, of Surveyor 3. Here is an article about how they located the Surveyor 3 site to make the rendezvous possible. https://news.arizona.edu/story/uarizona-moon-researchers-helped-nasa-nail-apollo-12-pinpoint-landing

Congratulations #ISRO and #India on becoming the fourth country to successfully perform a soft-landing on the #Moon, and the first to do so near the lunar south pole!
The #Chandrayaan-3 mission consists of the #Vikram lander and the #Pragyan rover. The #spacecraft was launched atop an #LVM3 #rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 14 July 2023 and successfully touched down between Manzinus C and Simpelius N craters a few hours ago at 12:32 UTC (23 August 2023).
