JAXA, Japan’s spaţiu agency has successfully soft landed “Smart Lander pentru investigare Lună (SLIM)” pe lunar suprafaţă. Aceasta face Japonia a cincea țară care o are aterizare moale lunară capacitatea, după SUA, Uniunea Sovietică, China și India.
Misiunea își propune să urmărească realizarea unui sistem de sondă ușoară și la scară mică și o tehnologie de aterizare precisă, în plus față de contribuția la viitor lunar sonde.
Japonia Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has confirmed that the Smart Lander for Investigating Lună (SLIM) successfully landed on the Lună surface on January 20, 2024, at 0:20 am (JST). Communication with nave spaţiale 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 Lună. Detailed analysis of the acquired data will be conducted in the future, and we will continue to share any updates on the situation.
SUBŢIRE is a small-scale exploration lander designed for pinpoint landings on the Moon's surface, reduction in the size and weight of equipment used in Lună landings, and investigation into the Moon's origins. It will also test technology fundamental to exploration in low-gravity environments, an important requirement for future scientific investigation of the solar system.
