It seems to have gone to hell, says Mikael Genberg to Aftonbladet.

The moon landing was broadcast live by Ispace, whose commentators assured that "members of MCC (Mission Control Center) will continuously try to communicate with the lander".

But shortly after the scheduled arrival time, the broadcast was interrupted with the message that further updates would be given at a later press conference.

Something has happened. I do not know what has happened, but everyone is packing up and going home, says the artist who is in Tokyo to follow the landing.

The small cottage, which does not measure more than 12x10x8 centimeters, was launched on January 15 from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Last time Ispace made an attempt to visit the moon, the approximately three-meter-high moon lander did indeed land, but at the edge of a ravine and tipped over.
