A long-lost Soviet spacecraft: AI could finally solve the mystery of Luna 9’s landing site

Using an advanced machine-learning algorithm, researchers in the UK and Japan have identified several promising candidate locations for the long-lost landing site of the Soviet Luna 9 spacecraft. Publishing their results in npj Space Exploration, the team, led by Lewis Pinault at University College London, hope that their model’s predictions could soon be tested using new observations from India’s Chandrayaan-2 orbiter.
