Israeli Beresheet probe crashes into moon during landing attempt [i]An Israeli lunar lander came close, but ultimately failed in its bid to become the the first privately-developed spacecraft to touch down on the moon. The robotic Beresheet probe, built by SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), aimed at becoming the first Israeli spacecraft, and the first privately-funded mission, to land softly on the moon. But the small four-legged lander developed problems on its approach and crashed into the lunar surface at around 3:23 p.m. EDT (1923 GMT) on Thursday (April 11).[/i]
