SLIM blew out one of its two engines at 50 m above the Moon's surface; SLIM sensed the anomaly and autonomously chose to land on the Moon with one of its engines. So it was off by about 60 meters from the target point, but if the engine had not dropped out, the accuracy was estimated to be 3 to 4 meters. This is even better than the target landing error of within 100 meters. So the photo of SLIM standing upside down is proof that he did his best. Please tell him he did a great job. 👍

It’s not ironic. It’s a little bit sad, but hopeful. Moonlight, Sun’s rays, reflected by the Moon onto the solar panels might save the mission.

Shortly before landing on the moon, one of the two engine nozzles fell off, creating a horizontal thrust that caused the lander to drift 50 meters and land, causing it to roll over 90 degrees. If the nozzle had not fallen off, it would have been possible to make a pinpoint landing with an error of 3-4 meters.

Yes, their pinpoint landing target was within 100m, so even 55m could be considered a success. It's true that the aircraft rolled forward upon landing, but its descent speed was only 5km/h. Of course, that's the result of redundancy. A normal landing often has an error of several kilometres. Everything worked fine except for one 500newton engine.

@@kevinknapp7361 This landing was more like "skydiver's parachute fails, forcing him to deploy a reserve parachute, where he lands hard on the ground spraining an ankle slightly, but otherwise is ok".

SLIM would be Japan’s first soft-landing on the Moon but more importantly, the team wanted to land the spacecraft with unprecedented precision. While the accuracy of lunar landers is traditionally a few to 10s of kilometres, SLIM was aiming to land within 100m of the target landing site. Close to the Shioli crater, the landing site was also on sloped terrain.

@@nikolai522 yes our learned friend antares explained it very well. If I may add the complication of this landing sequence: 1. the lander needs to land on a slope 2. the thrusters may have ejected loose soil on the slope, this complicated further 3. the fuel was at about 10% during the final moment of landing, would that affect the weight distribution?
