Impact site 60.4445°N, 355.4120°E (-2431.6 m) per LROC; converted to east-positive [-180,180] as -4.5880. ispace: landing-sequence commands sent at 3:13 a.m. JST 6 June (18:13 UTC 5 June); telemetry was lost during final descent (laser rangefinder delay) and a hard landing is presumed. LROC lists the impact as '5 June 2025 18:13 UTC', which matches the sequence start; the exact impact time is not published, so landing_utc and end_utc are omitted. The ispace PDF returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch; its content was read via search snippets. Carried the Tenacious micro-rover (ispace Europe), lost with the lander.
