- The roughly 10,800-pound upper stage launched in January 2025 to deliver two landers to the moon and then remained in orbit until the collision.
- NASA released Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images on Tuesday, taken Aug. 11 and 12, showing a crater about 60 feet wide and likely less than 10 feet deep.
- There were no live images of the impact, but researchers tracked the trajectory and identified the expected location, which the orbiter photographed after six days from about 60 miles above the surface.
- The crash was reportedly only the second known case of a rocket unintentionally hitting the moon, after a suspected Chinese rocket stage left a double crater in 2022, a claim China denied.

- The 4,000-kilogram Falcon 9 upper stage lost control after delivering a lunar lander and struck the Moon with the force of three tons of TNT.
- NASA said the impact posed no immediate danger to Earth, while experts pointed to the Moon’s regular natural impacts and previous spacecraft crashes on its surface.
- Experts warn that the growing number of satellites and missions is increasing space-debris risks, after a collision in 2009 produced about 2,300 pieces of debris.
- Experts intend to study the ejected material and lunar surface, while NASA and SpaceX are discussing safeguards for future missions, including the Artemis programme scheduled to send humans back by the end of this decade.

- The impact is expected near Einstein Crater on August 5, 2026, and could create a crater and a plume of dust and debris.
- Because it is due in the early morning hours, the eastern United States and Canada and much of South America are expected to have the best viewing opportunities.
- NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and South Korea’s Danuri lunar probe are expected to take before-and-after images, while Danuri is due to pass within one or two miles of the rocket stage two minutes beforehand, according to Benjamin Fernando and his team.
- The roughly 12-meter-long, 4,500-kilogram stage launched two private lunar landers on January 15, 2025, with Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost landing successfully and the Japanese company ispace’s lander crashing.
Part of the reason for our interest in this event is to figure out how much of a hazard debris impacts pose to future astronauts.— Benjamin Fernando, Los Alamos National Laboratory, in an email
