Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SpaceIL’s Beresheet was the first privately funded lunar lander to attempt to touch down on the moon. It ended with a crash on April 11. In the weeks following the Beresheet crash, Spivack pulled together the Arch Mission Foundation’s advisers in an attempt to determine whether the lunar library had survived the crash.

Detailed explanation-2: -Beresheet was Israel’s first lunar mission and the first attempt by a private company to land on the Moon. The mission achieved lunar orbit, but was lost during an April 2019 landing attempt. NASA had installed a small laser retroreflector aboard the lander to test its potential as a navigation tool.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microscopic tardigrades were fired inside bullets to test whether they could have survived Israel’s failed Moon mission.

Detailed explanation-4: -The March 4 impact created a weird double crater. The grave of a rocket body that slammed into the moon more than three months ago has been found.
