Hakuto-R M1
NSSDCA/COSPAR ID: 2022-168A
Description
Hakuto-R Mission1 (Hakuto-R M1) is a Japanese lunar landing mission. It is primarily a technology demonstration lander. It is built by ispace, inc., and will carry commercial and government payloads, including two lunar rovers (Rashid and the Japanese Lunar Excursion Vehicle). The mission launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on 11 December at 07:38:13 UT along with the Lunar Flashlight mission. It was put into a lunar transfer trajectory 40 minutes after launch and was deployed from the booster 7 minutes later. Communications were established with Hakuto, all systems are reported in nominal state. The orbit involved a wide loop away from the Earth and Moon followed by a return to lunar orbit. Lunar orbit insertion was achieved on 21 March. A 100-km circular orbit was achieved on 13 April. Landing was scheduled for 25 April 2023 at approximately 16:40 UT (12:40 p.m. EDT; 26 April at 1:40 a.m. JST) at 47.5 N, 44.4 E in Atlas crater in the Mare Frigoris region on the Moon's near side. However, no communication was received after the planned landing time and the spacecraft was presumed lost. Indications are that the spacecraft ran out of fuel while still a few kilometers in altitude and went into free fall, impacting the surface at a velocity that was not survivable. The impact site, comprising what looks to be multiple parts of the spacecraft, is at 47.581 N, 44.094 E.
The ispace Series 1 Lunar Lander stands about 2.3 meters tall on four landing legs with a total footprint 2.6 x 2.6 meters. The dry mass is 340 kg, fully fueled mass with payloads is roughly 1000 kg. The main body is an octagonal prism, 1.64 meters high and about 1.6 meters across its widest diameter. It has one main landing thruster and six assist thrusters. 350 W peak power is provided by body-mounted solar panels charging a Li-ion battery. Communications (uplink and downlink) are via X-band. It is capable of carrying 30 kg of payload to the lunar surface in protected compartments.
Rashid is a United Arab Emirates (UAE) lunar rover. It has a mass of approximately 10 kg. It is planned to operate for one lunar sunrise to sunset (about 14 Earth days) and will be used to study properties of lunar soil, the geology of the Moon, dust movement, and the surface plasma environment. The Japanese Lunar Excursion Vehicle, or Transformable Lunar Robot, is a small 8 cm diameter sphere with a mass of about 0.25 kg that will open into a cylindrical shape, basically an axle with two hemispherical wheels, and carry cameras for surface observations.

In an innovative thesis project that melds technology with historical preservation, Jackelyn Cordova Romano, a graduating public history student at UA Little Rock, has brought President Bill Clinton’s legacy to life through the creation of immersive virtual 3D artifacts.
Through meticulous research and cutting-edge technology, Cordova Romano has meticulously recreated iconic items from President Clinton’s tenure, offering audiences an unprecedented glimpse into his presidential legacy.
“My thesis is about digitizing really cool objects for the Clinton Presidential Museum,” Cordova Romano said. “The museum houses one-third of the ashes of Socks the Cat, the presidential cat who belonged to the Clintons. The urn that houses the ashes is small and intricate. It’s not a candidate to be put on permanent exhibit so it’s a good candidate for a virtual artifact. I also created a virtual artifact of the sunglasses that Bill Clinton wore during a 1992 performance on the Arsenio Hall Show during the presidential campaign.”
Museum officials and Cordova Romano spent a lot of time discussing the objects that would be chosen for her thesis project.
“Objects on permanent collection aren’t candidates because they are out and being seen by the public,” she said. “Did we want to do high-value objects like the first lady’s jewelry collection, or did we want to do objects that represent what people think of when they think of Bill Clinton. These were selected as being high-value items that the public doesn’t get to see that are clear identifiers to President Clinton’s presidency.”
Once she completes the virtual artifacts, they will be given to the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum for future use on their website. This endeavor not only showcases her scholarly acumen but also underscores the power of digital innovation in preserving and sharing our nation’s history.
Cordova Romano has a Master of Science degree in Visualization from Texas A&M University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from the University of Houston. Once she moved to Little Rock with her husband in 2022, she decided to pursue a career where she could combine her love of history with her skills in visualization.
“At the end of my last master’s degree, a lot of the people I knew went into the entertainment industry, but I really saw myself as interested in artifacts and potentially developing 3D and interactive artifacts,” she said. “I decided to curate my degrees to give me a unique skill set so I could do what I want. I asked myself what degree I needed to work in a museum and handle objects, and I saw that UA Little Rock had a great public history program.”
Cordova Romano works as a graduate assistant at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum. One of the exhibits she recently curated was “Governing Space,” a special space-related, pop-up exhibition created for the total solar eclipse. It included artifacts given to President Clinton from NASA.
“I feel like I got the best GA I could have gotten,” she said. “I’ve learned so much, and the museum staff have been exceptional. I’ve gotten to meet President Bill Clinton, and that was really cool. They’ve taught me so much that I now feel well equipped to work in a museum.”
After graduation, Cordova Romano will continue in her position as assistant curator of collections at Historic Arkansas Museum. She is currently working on the museum’s newest exhibit, “Collecting Arkansas Made,” which will debut during Second Friday Art Night on May 10. The exhibit features a wide variety of Arkansas-made furniture, pottery, portraits, firearms, and other artifacts collected by Historic Arkansas Museum between 2018–2023.

- How NASA’s New Supersonic Jet Replaced the Boom With a Quiet Thud
NASA's X-59 is designed to create a sonic "thud," with the same noise levels as as a washing machine. Removing the sonic boom, the space agency believes, could expedite the return of commercial supersonic travel.

Boom , Spike and Exosonic have different concepts for their supersonic jets, designed to travel between Mach 1.4 (1074 mph) and 1.8 (1381 mph) while the hypersonic constructs from Destinus and Hermeus could theoretically travel at Mach 5.0, or 3836 mph. Most remain in the theoretical concept phase. Only Boom’s demonstrator, the XB-1, has begun initial flight tests, with supersonic tests scheduled for later this year.
The progress is slow, due to exorbitant R&D costs caused by the unique technical challenges of flying faster than sound. “The hurdles are substantial,” notes Vik Kachoria, the CEO of Spike Aerospace , which is developing a 12- to 18-passenger supersonic aircraft called the Diplomat. “The boom, ground noise, safety, regulatory, environmental, infrastructure. It’s a lot.”
The sonic boom remains the greatest impediment to development, says David Richwine, NASA ’s deputy project manager for technology on the X-59 , an experimental aircraft designed to mitigate the boom’s noise and vibration. “When we stacked the challenges facing supersonic, solving the boom was the largest one,” he says. “Taking that on would free the commercial operators to work on some of the other issues.”
But by the end of the decade, most people viewed sonic booms as a public nuisance. In 1968, an F-105 flyover at the Air Force Academy blew out 200 windows of its iconic chapel, injuring a dozen people. From 1956 through 1968, the Air Force had to deal with about 40,000 claims against its supersonic warbirds, covering losses from broken windows and cracked plaster in homes, to assertions that the sonic booms drove livestock insane.
The Concorde , the world’s first commercial supersonic aircraft, didn’t help. Developed jointly by the British and French, its transatlantic flights often ended in US cities with broken windows and vibration that rattled local residents. In 1973, Congress and many authorities around the world, banned supersonic air travel overland, reducing its potential to speed up commercial air travel.
Always an expensive and fuel-intensive aircraft, the Concorde made its last flight in the UK in 2003, landing at an aviation museum in Bristow, where it became a fixed display.
Now, NASA, working with Lockheed Martin, hopes to rehabilitate supersonic commercial air travel by mitigating the boom. The team overseeing the X-59 Quesst mission is promoting the idea that the supersonic speed limit should be lifted as soon as the sonic boom becomes a non-issue.
“Instead of a rule based solely on speed, we are proposing the rule be based on sound,” said Peter Coen, integrated mission manager for the X-59 program. “If the sound of a supersonic flight isn’t loud enough to bother anyone below, there’s no reason why the airplane can’t be flying supersonic.”
The X-59 concept was first presented in 2018, with NASA presenting a $248 million grant to Lockheed Martin to develop the jet. After extensive computer modeling and wind-tunnel testing, the X-59 was formally presented to the world at Lockheed’s California Skunk Works facility in January. The slender, needle-nosed aircraft is 99.7 feet long and 29.5 feet wide, looking like an elegant, futuristic fighter jet, with the cockpit about halfway back along the fuselage.
It’s designed to fly at 1.4 times the speed of sound, or 925 mph. The X-59 reuses parts from other warbirds, including landing gear from an F-16, the canopy and ejection seat from a T-38 supersonic training jet, and some of the engine system used in the U-2 spy plane.
The top-mounted engine allows for a smooth underside to keep shockwaves from merging behind the aircraft, thus lessening the potential power of sonic booms. The aircraft has undergone ground tests, with flight tests expected by the end of the year. The X-59 will fly at about Mach 1.4 (1074 mph) at 55,000 feet, about the same speed and altitude of a commercial supersonic jet, gathering data about its “quiet boom.” The data, says NASA, should help “regulators reconsider rules that prohibit commercial supersonic flight over land.”
The configuration positions the cockpit about halfway down the length of the aircraft, which means that the pilot does not look through a forward-facing window, but instead uses high-resolution cameras that feed a 4K monitor in the cockpit, called the eXternal Vision System.
A sonic thud would be welcome news to the commercial supersonic startups. Spike Aerospace is doing its own work on mitigating booms, while drafting off NASA’s research. Like the X-59, it aims to reduce the boom by flattening the sonic waves so they’re directed upwards and largely cancel each other out. Exosonic is also positioning its 70-seat aircraft as having a “quiet” sonic boom.
The X-59 may achieve its goal of mitigating sonic booms, but applying that to a certified aircraft is still challenging. The startups have issues with raising the necessary capital to bring a final product to market, and then there are questions of sustainability—some analysts project that supersonic jets will consume three times as much fuel as sub-sonic jetliners. Richwine admits that after boom suppression, “emissions are the next biggest challenge, so we have to look at alternative fuels, electric and hydrogen.” NASA has begun to peek down those rabbit holes. Boom says it is designing its 80-seat Overture to run on 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), while Spike is exploring electric and hydrogen.
The supersonic manufacturers remain hopeful, despite significant technical challenges and the general consensus within private aviation that these projects will be too expensive to bring to market, with limited demand by airlines and other buyers.
Within the field, however, optimism prevails. “I definitely think supersonic flight will happen,” Richwine says. “It’s an order of magnitude more complicated than a typical plane, so it will take time, but we’ll get there. For commercial airlines, it’ll probably be 15 years.”
