1990 – Japan’s first lunar probe was called HITEN (translate to Celestial Maiden) and was sent in January 1990! Its mission was to deliver a little satellite called Hagoromo near the moon as well as testing different technologies designed for lunar and planetary exploration.
2007 – A second mission to the moon was completed by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2007. A three-part spacecraft named SELENE (Selenological and Engineering Explorer) orbited the moon for a little more than a year and a half while studying its origin, its surface, its geology, and its gravity.
I can not wait for the Artemis mission to start. I want to see humans on the moon in my lifetime.
Nice to see so many countries involved in space exploration
Has Mexico been to the moon yet?
Surprised to see that the United Kingdom has never been to the Moon so far?
