اِصْطَدَمَتْ مَرْحَلَةٌ عُلْيَا مِنْ صَارُوخِ فَالْكُونْ ٩ بِسَطْحِ الْقَمَرِ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، ٥ أَغُسْطُسَ ٢٠٢٦. وَكَانَ الصَّارُوخُ قَدْ حَمَلَ مَرْكَبَتَيْنِ خَاصَّتَيْنِ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ فِي يَنَايِرَ ٢٠٢٥.
بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ، بَقِيَتِ الْمَرْحَلَةُ فِي الْفَضَاءِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَامٍ. ثُمَّ سَارَتْ نَحْوَ الْقَمَرِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قَصْدٍ. وَرَصَدَ تِلْسْكُوبٌ فِي تْشِيلِي غُبَارًا نَاتِجًا عَنِ الِاصْطِدَامِ.
وَصَوَّرَ الْمِسْبَارُ الْكُورِيُّ الْجَنُوبِيُّ دَانُورِي الْمَنْطِقَةَ قَبْلَ الْحَدَثِ وَبَعْدَهُ. وَظَهَرَتْ حُفْرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ فِي الصُّوَرِ. وَقَالَتْ سْبَيْسْ إِكْسْ إِنَّ الِاصْطِدَامَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُتَعَمَّدًا، وَإِنَّهَا تَعْمَلُ مَعَ نَاسَا لِتَجَنُّبِ حَوَادِثَ مِثْلِ هٰذَا فِي الْمُسْتَقْبَلِ.

Rocket Stage Hits the Moon and Korean Probe Photographs the Site
A Falcon 9 rocket upper stage hit the Moon’s surface on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. The rocket had carried two private spacecraft to the Moon in January 2025.
After that, the stage remained in space for more than a year. It then moved toward the Moon unintentionally. A telescope in Chile detected dust produced by the impact.
The South Korean probe Danuri photographed the area before and after the event. A small crater appeared in the images. SpaceX said that the impact was not deliberate and that it is working with NASA to avoid similar incidents in the future.
