Japan Slim Lander Lands on Moon However Snip of Energy as Sun Panel Now Not Running Extra Main Points

Japan has successfully managed to step on the moon. Japan’s Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (Slim) vehicle landed on the moon surface at midnight on Saturday. But due to some technical fault in the craft, it cannot be clearly said whether it will be able to fulfill all its motives there or not. Because the malfunction that is talked about here is related to using solar power. In such a situation, if the lander is not able to use solar power, then there will be a hurdle in the completion of the goal of the mission.

Japan’s successful step on the moon now makes it the fifth country in the world, which has managed to reach the moon. Earlier, America, Russia, China, and India have succeeded in stepping on the moon. According to Reuters, an official on behalf of the country’s Space Agency Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) has said that the lander has managed to land on the surface, but it cannot be confirmed yet whether it has landed within a 100 meter scope from its target site.

Hiroshi Yamanaka, president of the Japanese Space Agency, told in a news conference that he feels that he has managed to make a soft landing. Continuous data is being sent to earth from there, which means that success has been found in doing soft landing. But a problem has arisen here. Officials have said that the solar panels on the lander are not able to generate electricity, and the lander is still running with the battery on it. This battery can only last for a few hours.

In such a situation, the mission of the lander may fall into sourness as there will be electricity to do activity there. Officials have said that they will try to do more and more work there according to the available battery. But it also said that the end of the battery is not the end of the mission. Officials believe that solar panels have not deteriorated during landing. Panels can start generating electricity when the Sun changes its angle in a few weeks, and can be carried forward in the mission. However, Japan has managed to step on the moon, but the mission has been questioned. In such a situation, it has to be seen how far Japan is able to succeed in this effort.
