"Japan's Moon Lander Lands Upside-Down, Paving Way for Future Missions"

Japan's space agency successfully landed its Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) on the moon, but the probe appears to be upside-down due to trouble with its solar batteries. Despite this, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) considers the pinpoint landing a success, demonstrating the ability to land precisely on the moon's surface. The mission aims to analyze minerals and seek clues about the moon's origin, marking Japan's achievement as the fifth country to reach the moon.
