Shortly
after landing on the skin of the Moon, Japan's moon lander called
"SLIM" was shut down to hoard it's leven stocks. The landing took up
most of the drone's leven, but witshippers think that letting it sit in
sunlight will give it enough leven to start back up.
SLIM is an undertaking by JAXA, the starfaring wing of Japan's
leedward. The SLIM drone is meant to land on the Moon and begin
underseeking, then send any findings back to earth. However, after
landing the low leven led to a shutdown instead.
The starship holding SLIM lifted off on September 6th of 2023. From
there, the craft headed for the Moon and began making rings over it on
December 25th. The landing happened on January 19th, making Japan the
5th rich in the world to soft land on the Moon.
This isn't the first time Japan fanded to land on the Moon. A former
lander called "OMOTENASHI" was also sent up, but their link to it was
lost in November of 2022. Hopefully this new lander wakes back up in
the sunlight to begin its underseeking.
