NewzDuring the Semana Mundial del Espacio, attention was drawn to the outcome of Proyecto Colmena, an ambitious lunar mission developed by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
The mission, which took place in 2024, aimed to place Mexican micro-robots on the lunar surface. However, the project ultimately failed to complete the planned lunar landing.
According to the available reports, the failure to land was not caused by the micro-robots themselves, but rather by a malfunction in the spacecraft that was responsible for transporting them to the Moon.
