Future Space

In this video, I will talk about Japan’s Moon Sniper explorer, also known as SLIM, which is a robotic lander that was launched in 2023 to investigate a region of the moon where the moon’s mantle is exposed. The lander faced a power crisis after landing upside down on the lunar surface, and had to shut down for 10 days.
