AnEsonGib became the Misfits super middleweight champion after defeating Slim in Doha, extending his record to 7-1. Following his victory, Gib was asked about facing Salt Papi, who won against King Kenny in the co-main event, for his first title defense. Gib responded dismissively, indicating indifference towards his next opponent. Salt Papi's win marked his third consecutive victory since losing to Slim last year.
Japan's Moon lander, SLIM, survived a second lunar night, despite initial setbacks, and was able to send back some images. Although some malfunctions were reported, the lander was revived by JAXA and continued to function, albeit with deteriorating sensors and battery cells. The space agency is uncertain about the lander's future capabilities but remains hopeful, as they continue to monitor its condition.
Against all odds, Japan's moon lander, SLIM, has survived its second lunar night, defying expectations after a rocky landing. Despite some malfunctions, the spacecraft is still transmitting signals and collecting data, outlasting its American counterpart, Odysseus. With its reliance on solar power, SLIM faces challenges during the lunar night, but JAXA remains determined to continue its operations.
Japan's SLIM moon lander has powered down as the lunar night falls, with plans to try operation again when the sun shines in late March. Despite facing challenges, SLIM has met its main and extended mission objectives, including landing precisely on the moon, deploying rovers, and conducting scientific observations. The lander woke up from hibernation on Feb. 26 and has been intermittently making contact with Earth. Meanwhile, the U.S. also achieved a historic moon landing with the Intuitive Machines IM-1 Odysseus lander, which went offline on Feb. 29 after potentially completing its mission.
Japan's SLIM moon lander, which made the most precise lunar landing in history but accidentally touched down upside down, has defied expectations by surviving the freezing lunar night and unexpectedly waking up for a second time. Despite being designed for lunar daytime, SLIM has managed to endure the extreme temperatures and communicate with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). This remarkable survival makes Japan the fifth nation to reach the lunar surface, following the former Soviet Union, the United States, China, and India.
Japan's SLIM moon lander, which made a historic touchdown on the lunar surface last month, unexpectedly survived a freezing lunar night and re-established communication with Earth, more than a month after its initial landing. The spacecraft, operated by Japan's space agency, had run out of power shortly after landing but regained electricity when its solar panels received sunlight from a different direction, despite not being designed to survive a lunar night.
Japan's SLIM moon lander, which made a historic touchdown on the moon last month, unexpectedly survived a freezing lunar night and re-established communication with Earth after running out of power due to its tipped-over position. The spacecraft's solar panels regained electricity more than a week later, marking a significant achievement for Japan's space agency as countries and businesses race for the moon in search of resources and human habitability.
Japan's lunar probe SLIM has powered down in preparation for a potentially fatal lunar nighttime, but not before sending back final images of the moon to mission control. The probe encountered trouble during its descent, but managed to reboot and conduct operations, including scanning the lunar surface for chemical composition. While it's likely the end of SLIM's journey, the Japanese space agency, JAXA, plans to attempt to operate the probe again when the sun shines on its solar cells in mid-February.
Japan's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) has come back to life on the Moon after a slight mishap during landing left it on its side, preventing its solar panels from powering up. The lander has resumed its scientific mission, exceeding expectations by achieving a precision landing within 55 meters of its target. SLIM has deployed rovers, named rocks after dog breeds, and started analyzing the surface using spectroscopy. Additionally, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has photographed SLIM from orbit, capturing the effects of its rocket on the lunar surface. SLIM will now work to conduct its science mission before the lunar night sets in.
Japan's SLIM moon lander, which landed upside-down on the lunar surface, has woken up and resumed operations after its solar panels were in shadow and its batteries ran out. The lander successfully obtained the first light with its Multi-Band Camera (MBC) and sent back photos of its landing zone, where it is now conducting scientific observations to analyze the composition of olivine on the lunar surface. Despite its unexpected orientation, the mission is designed to operate for a single lunar day and may wake up again from hibernation next month to continue its scientific work.
NASA released images of Japan's SLIM moon probe taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing a change in reflectance due to engine exhaust after a successful pinpoint landing, making Japan the fifth country to land a spacecraft on the moon. Although SLIM faced orientation and power generation issues, it managed to deploy a robot and take an image of itself on the Moon's surface.
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.
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.
Japan's first lunar mission, the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM), successfully hit its target on the moon's surface but appears to be upside-down due to trouble with its solar batteries. The probe landed about 55 meters away from its target, in between two craters near the Shioli crater, and its solar panels are facing the wrong direction, preventing it from generating power. Despite the mishap, Japan's space agency, JAXA, sees the mission as a successful demonstration of pinpoint landing technology and hopes the probe will be able to recharge when the moon enters its daytime.
Japan's SLIM lunar spacecraft landed upside down on the moon due to a power generation issue, but the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) managed to collect some data before it shut down. The spacecraft landed 55 meters east of its target site, and JAXA is investigating the main engine malfunction. There is a slim chance for recovery as the solar cells are facing west, but the agency is preparing for potential recovery and gathering more technical and scientific data from the spacecraft.
