TL;DR Summary

Japan's SLIM moon lander, which had lost power and landed upside down, has regained power and resumed operations, with its Multi-Band Camera back online. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is thrilled by the news and hopes to power the built-in solar panels enough for the spacecraft to begin its scientific work, including investigating the moon's origins and searching for evidence of material from its mantle. The lander had previously taken pictures of the moon's landscape and rocks before losing power, and small exploratory robots deployed on the moon's surface conducted scientific activities.
