TOKYO, June 6 (Reuters) - Japanese company ispace

said it has not been able to establish communication

with its uncrewed moon lander Resilience after its lunar

touchdown attempt on Friday.

Two years after its failed inaugural mission, Resilience was

on ispace's second mission in a bid to become the first company

outside the United States to achieve a moon landing.

The company's live-streamed flight data showed Resilience's

altitude suddenly falling down to zero shortly before the

planned touchdown time of 4:17 a.m. on Friday, Japanese time

(1917 GMT on Thursday) following an hour-long descent from lunar

orbit.
