Japanese Probe Survives Lunar Freezing Night
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency announced on Wednesday that the country’s first lunar lander has survived its third lunar freezing night.
This news came after a new image of the probe, named SLIM, was received. SLIM’s survival of the third lunar night is notable because it was not designed to withstand the lunar nights.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency stated that the lunar probe responded to a signal from Earth on Tuesday night, confirming that it has endured another lunar night, which lasts for weeks.
