"Japan's SLIM Moon Lander Defies Odds, Survives Lunar Night"

Japan's Moon lander, Slim, has survived the harsh lunar night after an awkward landing in January left its solar panels facing the wrong way and unable to generate power. The craft, designed by Jaxa, was able to reboot itself after the sunless and freezing equivalent to two Earth weeks, marking a significant achievement in overcoming the technological challenges of lunar missions. Meanwhile, a US spacecraft, the Odysseus Moon lander, also achieved a soft lunar touchdown, becoming the first privately built and operated robot to do so, despite landing awkwardly.
