<p>SpaceIL said its lunar mission in April has been widely hailed as “an exceptional success”, despite crash landing on the moon.</p>
<p>It says that “an attempt to repeat a trip to the moon is not enough of a challenge” and will instead search for a different mission.</p>

<p>The SpaceIL “Beresheet” spacecraft attempted to be the first privately funded lunar mission, but failed to make a controlled landing on the lunar surface.</p>
<p>The company launched in 2011 and initially competed for Google’s Lunar Xprize, a $20m challenge for private companies to land on the moon.</p>
