Japan’s lunar lander reaches the moon but is rapidly losing power

Japan’s “Moon Sniper” robotic explorer landed on the lunar surface, but the mission may end prematurely since the spacecraft’s solar cell is not generating electricity, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said. The agency said it is currently receiving a signal from the lander, which is communicating as expected. #CNN #News

The lander couldn't send images because due to the power problem (that got mostly fixed), but due that it was fixed, imagery just got sent.

[@cashaeleatemla]

Currently, the lander is operating on limited battery power, only expected to last several hours, and the JAXA team is analyzing the data to determine the cause of the solar cell issue and the next steps for the lander. It’s possible that the solar cell issue is due to the fact that the spacecraft is not pointing in the intended direction, JAXA officials said. There is hope that as the solar angle changes on the moon, the solar cell may be able to charge again, but that may take some time and will depend on if SLIM can survive the frigid lunar night, the team shared during a news conference.

[@cashaeleatemla]

The lander was able to release its two lunar rovers, LEV-1 and LEV-2. The LEV-1 rover moves using a hopping mechanism and is equipped with wide-angle visible light cameras, scientific equipment and antennas that allow it to communicate with Earth. And LEV-2, also outfitted with cameras, can change shape to move across the lunar surface. The team is receiving a signal from LEV-1 and will see if its cameras were able to capture any images, and they will not definitively confirm the status of LEV-2 until more data is received.

[@cashaeleatemla]

Previous lunar missions have been able to target and reach specific zones that spanned many kilometers, but the SLIM lander targeted a landing site that stretches just 100 meters (328 feet) across. The lander’s “smart eyes” - an image-matching-based navigation technology - rapidly photographed the lunar surface on approach and autonomously made adjustments as the spacecraft descended to touchdown on a sloped surface. The JAXA team is still working to determine the accuracy of SLIM’s landing, which could take up to a month.

[@cashaeleatemla]

The Moon Sniper targeted a landing site near the small Shioli crater within a lunar plain called the Sea of Nectar that was created by ancient volcanic activity and lies just south of the Sea of Tranquility, where Apollo 11 landed in 1969. The lander is designed to briefly study rocks at the site that could reveal insights into the moon’s origin.

[@cashaeleatemla]

When meteorites and other objects strike the moon, they create craters as well as rocky debris that litters the surface. These rocks intrigue scientists because studying them is effectively like peering inside the moon itself. Minerals and other aspects of the rocks’ composition can potentially shed more light on how the moon formed. Landing near the sloped, rock-strewn areas around craters is a hazardous process that most missions usually avoid, but JAXA believes its lander has the technology to touch down safely on rocky terrain.

[@cashaeleatemla]

Multiple space agencies and countries have attempted moon landing missions over the past year, leading to a historic first as well as failures. India became the fourth country - after the United States, the former Soviet Union and China - to execute a controlled landing on the moon when its Chandrayaan-3 mission arrived near the lunar south pole in August.

The Mars Rover has a rocking mechanism that allows one set of wheels (either the front or the back) to pivot up or down independently of the other set, helping maintain contact with the ground on uneven terrain. Even better than that, could be some extendable actuators to push the craft back to correct orientation, if it tilts over completely. Using materials like carbon fibre or titanium steel for such extendable actuators or self-righting mechanisms could be a viable approach. Both materials are known for their strength, durability, and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. A strong robotic arm could be ideal and would be multi use anyway, so not dead weight for a single purpose. If you look at Boston Dynamics robotic dog, it can self right itself after falling over.

Meanwhile, Japanese company Ispace’s Hakuto-R lunar lander fell 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) before crashing into the moon during a landing attempt in April. Russia’s Luna-25 also crash-landed in August during the country’s first attempt to return to the moon since the Soviet Union’s fall. Astrobotic Technology’s Peregrine spacecraft - the first US lunar lander to launch in five decades - met a fiery end Thursday after a critical fuel leak made safely landing on the moon out of the question. Part of the motivation behind the new lunar space race is a desire to access water trapped as ice in permanently shadowed regions at the lunar south pole. It could be used for drinking water or fuel as humanity pushes the bounds of space exploration in the future. This region is riddled with craters and strewn with rocks, leading to narrow landing sites. The lightweight SLIM lander might be an effective design that could not only land in small areas of interest on the moon but also on planets such as Mars, according to JAXA.

I'm watching live from Africa specialy somalia 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴

[@fredspringfield2777]

Turn it off, they’re trying to convince Africans that they live on a spinning space pear with water stuck to it. You wasted your time watching this poorly made animation with baseless claims about landing something on a semi transparent light in the sky.

Lunokhod 2 was the second of two monocrystalline-panel-powered uncrewed lunar rovers landed on the Moon by the Soviet Union as part of the Lunokhod program. The Luna 21 spacecraft landed on the Moon and deployed the second Soviet lunar rover Lunokhod 2 in January 1973.

Landing is successful, not a crash but the probe lands sideway, put it bluntly, the mission failed ! 😢

we used to fly to the moon many times in the late 1960s, there and back just for fun...and today smartest nation with the most advanced tech struggling smh

[@fredspringfield2777]

When you say “we” are you doing that Andrew Tate thing where you pretend you’ve been, or are you talking about the people who said they went and showed obviously fake footage? We as humans can’t land a rocket on a semi transparent light in the sky.

You literally believe you’re on a spinning pear shaped rock with water and people stuck to it because your precious government told you…

And where’s the photos and video? 1960’s live video. 2023 computer generated images only

[@jennifercoopman]

Congratulations Japan! : D so cool!

[@blindfoldsanddaggers5350]

Let's see the video of the entire flight from departure to landing. I mean surely with something as epic as that you'd create a camera capsule to record the entire flight and landing. Hah

I hope the lander gets power

the sea of nectar is where I like to land too 😅

54 years later, we can barely get there, and I'm expected to believe we got there in 1969 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@larrybarela8676]

It never happened, where is the proof?

How do you explain the FACT that the Apollo lunar module descent stages are still on the Moon's surface?

@@heather1985october Just because someone told you so, doesn't make it true!

@@larrybarela8676 Hey Larry: You don't believe that the Moon landings took place. How do you explain the presence of the Apollo lunar module descent stages that are on the Moon's surface? In future years there will be space tourism to the Moon and people will visit the historic Apollo landing sites. What will be your excuse then? Will you invent a new conspiracy theory?

We can't land on the moon in 2024, yet we are supposed to believe it happened in 1969.

Sure we can't. Crack a book.

It's interesting that the video we had from 50 plus years ago is way better.

Because that video was produced by Warner bros

Congrats JAXA. Hope all continues nominally.

Japanese are awesome! ❤️ Why congratulate them for cartoons and baseless claims? Leave that to the west.

Ask yourself why are there no camera images?Don't be fooled folks!

You believe animations are proof people landed a space ship on a light in the sky. You believe you’re on a spinning pear shaped rock with water stuck to it. The only one coping is you and your sponge Bob physics
