• New image from Japan’s lunar lander SLIM revealed

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced that a new image has been obtained from the unmanned spacecraft SLIM, which made a soft landing on the Moon but was put into sleep mode due to issues with its solar panels. In January, Japan’s unmanned spacecraft SLIM, which made a soft landing on the Moon but was put into sleep mode due to issues with its solar panels, received a new statement. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) stated that a reconnection has been established with SLIM, which has not been in healthy communication for some time. The statement said, “Last night we established contact with SLIM and confirmed that the spacecraft successfully passed two uninterrupted nights,” while it was noted that a new crater image was obtained by SLIM’s camera.

It was put into sleep mode after landing on the Moon

SLIM, which successfully made a soft landing on the lunar surface in January, was put into sleep mode to be restarted due to its solar panels facing the wrong direction, which prevented it from charging. With the change in the angle of the sun, SLIM became active for two days at the end of January, and it was lastly connected last month.
