SLIM met the moon\u2019s surface about 55 meters east of the original target landing site, JAXA said. The agency did get all of the technical information related to its navigation prior to landing and ultimately becoming stationary on the lunar surface. JAXA captured photos<\/a> of the SLIM from its The Lunar Excursion Vehicle 2, its fully autonomous robot currently exploring the moon.<\/p>\n

The reason behind the main engine malfunctioning is under investigation by the space agency. There is a slim chance for regeneration because the solar cells that power the spacecraft are facing west, meaning there is a chance for SLIM recovery if enough light from the sun reaches the cells as more time passes. The SLIM JAXA team took to X earlier this week to write<\/a>, \u201cWe are preparing for recovery.\u201d The agency said it will \u201ctake the necessary preparations to gather more technical and scientific data from the spacecraft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
