In this video, we show you the new image of Japan’s SLIM moon lander that was taken by a hopping robot, and what it reveals about the lander’s condition and location. We also explain how the image was taken and transmitted by two hopping robots that accompanied SLIM, and what are the implications and prospects for the future of lunar exploration. SLIM is a historic mission that aimed to demonstrate a pinpoint landing system on the moon, something that has never been done before. SLIM landed on the moon within 100 meters of its target, but it also landed upside down and unable to communicate with Earth. SLIM’s mission is not over yet, and there is still hope that it will survive and send more data and images. SLIM’s mission is also a valuable technology demonstration for future lunar exploration, and a testament to Japan’s space capabilities and ambitions.
