Japan’s ‘moon sniper’ lands successfully but struggles with power

Japan has become the fifth country to put a spacecraft on the moon but Power issues are threatening to cut the mission short Japan’s smart Lander for investigating Moon known as Slim landed at 12:20 a.m. local time but the probe solar panels were not able to generate electricity that’s according to the

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency or jaxa hosi kuninaka is the head of the agency’s research center and since we are not able to electricity and so the operation is being done using batteries on load kunaka said the Lander solar panels might be at the wrong angle but

Jaxa is hoping a shift in sunlight can help restore its functions that takes 30 days on the moon kuninaka said dubbed the moon sniper slim attempted to land within 100 met or 328 ft of its Target versus the conventional accuracy of several kilometers Jaa says the technology will become a powerful tool

In future exploration ation of hilly Moon poles seen as a potential source of oxygen Fuel and water it will take up to a month to verify whether slim achieved its high Precision goals jaxa said Japan is increasingly looking to play a bigger role in space exploration partnering

With the US to counter China the country is home to several private sector space startups and jaxa aims to send an astronaut to the Moon with NASA’s emis program in the next few years but there have been recent setbacks in rocket Dev velopment including the launch failure

Of its new flagship H3 rocket last March only four nations the former Soviet Union the US China and recently India and no private company have achieved a soft landing on the moon’s surface

Japan on Saturday (January 20) became the fifth country to put a spacecraft on the moon but the probe was not generating solar power, its space agency said, during a mission to prove a “precision” landing technology and revitalize a space program that has suffered setbacks.

  13. Why are there Indians under every Japanese moon landing video?
    I mean, even if India had landed on the moon a few months earlier than Japan,
    It wouldn't change the fact that India is the third world and Japan is the first world.

  24. 👎 yes, they (Japan) have landed on the moon. HOWEVER, NOT SUCCESSFULLY❗️ Tell it as it is. NOT what you want others to think. 😡

  25. Yeah but we landed men on the moon 6 times in the 60s and 70s. Nasa is the only technology based company that doesnt advance technology they go backwards.

  27. At least this one reached the moob, but why do all these missions have power issues? Because most of them rely heavily on rechargeable/battery power. This is one reason why I will never have a so-called electric car.

  28. crazy how far nasa has eclipsed everyone. landing on mars consistently and far exceeding their mission length times.

  31. My Do-It-Yourself (DIY) neighbor had the same problem when he installed his own solar panels which weren’t working properly when he turned it on. I told him there is a solar direction and angle map on the Internet for it to work efficiently base on location when he was installing the panels. I guess the Japanese just miscalculated the solar angle.
