A SIGNAL OF HOPE FROM THE FUTURE! While we're feeling sad about #OMOTENASHI missing the opportunity to land on the Moon, the Deep Space Network seems to be talking to JAXA's SLIM mission... which hasn't launched yet 😂 SLIM will demonstrate pin-point precision landing on the Moon

@elizabethtasker Are they still trying to get OMOT to talk or it is done for good?

@anton They say they will still try, as there's different science and tech demos they can perform: https://mastodon.online/@elizabethtasker/109384654977308171

The team were encouraged by all the support they received, and are sorry it was not possible to live up to expectations. But there is now the opportunity to travel beyond the Moon, so recovery will still be attempted to realise part of the mission. https://twitter.com/OMOTENASHI_JAXA/status/1594741697673453568

@anton Mastodon doesn't seem to let you link a single toot clearly, but 3 from the bottom of the thread, there's the comment from the team about further operations.
