JAXA, Japan’s прастору agency has successfully soft landed “Smart Lander for Investigating месяц (SLIM)” на месяцовы паверхні. Гэта робіць Японію пятай краінай месяцовая мяккая пасадка магчымасці пасля ЗША, Савецкага Саюза, Кітая і Індыі.
Мэта місіі - стварыць невялікую, лёгкую сістэму зонда і тэхналогію дакладнай пасадкі, у дадатак да ўкладу ў будучыню месяцовы зонды.
,en Японскае агенцтва аэракасмічных даследаванняў (JAXA) has confirmed that the Smart Lander for Investigating месяц (SLIM) successfully landed on the месяц surface on January 20, 2024, at 0:20 am (JST). Communication with касмічны карабель has been established after the landing.
However, the solar cells are currently not generating power, and priority is given to data acquisition from the SLIM on the месяц. Detailed analysis of the acquired data will be conducted in the future, and we will continue to share any updates on the situation.
SLIM is a small-scale exploration lander designed for pinpoint landings on the месяца surface, reduction in the size and weight of equipment used in месяц landings, and investigation into the месяца origins. It will also test technology fundamental to exploration in low-gravity environments, an important requirement for future scientific investigation of the solar system.
