JAXA's Successful Lunar Mission: SLIM Landing on the Moon
Japan's space agency, JAXA, announced successful landing of the SLIM (SmartLanderInvestigatingMoon) spacecraft on the Moon. However, the spacecraft, which cost 121 million dollars and was launched with the XRISM observatory in September, is not generating electricity yet due to its orientation. The Japanese have officially become the fifth country in the world to reach the Moon. Before the lunar landing, the spacecraft released two small robots, named Lunar Excursion Vehicles (LEV), to capture images of the lunar surface. SLIM was designed to function in low power mode and is expected to operate in the area near a 270-meter crater called Shioli, in the Mare Nectaris region of the Moon.
