"Japan's SLIM Moon Lander Achieves Goals Despite Challenges"

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of Japan's SLIM moon lander on the lunar surface after its successful landing, making Japan the fifth country to achieve a soft landing on the moon. Despite an engine failure causing it to land upside down, SLIM deployed two mini-rovers and is relying on battery power until it can potentially absorb sunlight with its solar panels. The lander's battery dipped to 12% capacity, prompting a power down, but JAXA scientists remain hopeful for a recovery.
