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 setback, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is hopeful that the probe will be able to recharge when the moon enters its daytime. The mission aimed for a pinpoint landing, demonstrating improved accuracy in landing technology. The project was the result of two decades of work on precision technology, and Japan hopes to regain confidence in its space technology after recent failures.
