Japan's iSpace agency failed in an attempt to complete its HAKUTO-R Mission 1 after the lander crashed while descending on the surface of the moon. The agency was unable to provide live footage of the landing attempt from the landing craft before the crash. Instead they show telemetry and display computer simulation of the landing, and cut away from coverage shortly after the crash.

NASA successfully landed a craft on the moon 54 years ago. They employed the use of a field sequential camera to broadcast live footage of the astronauts from the lunar surface. The transmission signal carried three sets of black and white images plus a synchronizing pulse back to Earth where it was recombined using a spinning disk rotating 10x a second to scan images through red, green and blue filters producing color video.
