Japan’s Moon Sniper is Back! New Images and Challenges of the SLIM Mission

Ғылым және технология

In this video, I will talk about Japan’s Moon Sniper explorer, also known as SLIM, which is a robotic lander that was launched in 2023 to investigate a region of the moon where the moon’s mantle is exposed. The lander faced a power crisis after landing upside down on the lunar surface, and had to shut down for 10 days. But thanks to the changing angle of the sun, the lander was able to restore power and communication, and resume its scientific operations. The lander also captured and transmitted new images of the lunar surface using its multi-band camera. These images show us the details and features of the lunar region near the Shioli crater, where the moon’s mantle is exposed. They also show us the location and condition of the lander, which landed about 55 meters away from its target, making it the most precise lunar landing in history. The lander also deployed two probes that were detached from it, and that are still functioning and communicating with the Earth. One of the probes is a transmitter that relays the signals from the lander to the Earth. The other probe is a shape-shifting mini-rover, slightly bigger than a tennis ball, that trundles around the lunar surface and beams images to Earth. This mini-rover was co-developed by the firm behind the Transformer toys, and it can change its shape and size depending on the terrain and obstacles. I will also explain why this mission is so important and exciting, and what it means for the global cooperation and competition in the new lunar space race.

    You seem poorly informed for a "reporter". SLIM did not have an engine fail to ignite. One of it's engines broke off it's nozzle below the combustion chamber. They showed pictures that the navigation camera grabbed of it laying on the surface. You showed an animation with the two nozzles, but you can clearly see in the picture of SLIM that it only has one nozzle now. The sideways motion induced by the unbalanced thrust led to the bounce and roll landing.

    Its solar panels are facing west (if I am not wrong) instead of up; because of that, the panels will get light 1 week out of 2, then 14 days of night where it will probably not survive to restart, then add another week waiting for the sun to go down to the west again... 1 week working, 2 weeks freezing to death, 1 week warming up but not charging.

    It depends on if they have a radio active isotope heating it during the lunar nights to keep it warm. Granted it wont have battery power till the solar panel can charge, but if they were smart and put a RTS heater on it then the cold wont hurt it.

    The probe is not designed to survive the lunar night, so, at 3:39, I don't know where they got the "this mission is expected to last for about six months". The sun sets at the lander's location on January 31st, 2024 which will probably mark the end of the mission. The sun won't rise again on the lander's location until early on February 15th, and with the oddball orientation of the lander, although we can hope, there is some doubt that it will wake up again.

    How do you know the probe isn't designed to survive the lunar night? Did you find stats or a diagram on the probe somewhere that showed they didn't add a radio active isotope heater to heat it during the lunar nights? RTS heaters don't need battery power to keep warm. If you got a source please post it so we can read in detail.

    Images of it the right way up are graphics, probably created before the launch. There is at least one image taken by one of the small probes it deployed and that image shows the lander didn't settle the right way up. It was designed to topple to the correct attitude after touch down but either it toppled the wrong way or too far, maybe it even bounced. The end result, the solar panel was in shadow until the relative sun angle changed due to the orbits of the Moon and the Earth.

    The reason was that it didn't use the similar route that Apollo spacecraft had during their missions. It has been explained that instead of a direct route it took an extraordinary trajectory if compared to Apollo missions. "SLIM will be taking a long, roundabout journey of at least four months that requires less propellant, and then spend a month orbiting the moon before attempting to land on the surface."

    This is a long shot but before the ball dies they should place it where it will reflect the sun on to the solar cells you would have to put it near vut at an spot where its not in the shade of lander. Even better if you could shape it in an mirror or reflect the best you can do. And when it dies it may serve you well. Good luck.... oh and if you can bypass the charger and go straight to bat with connections from solar cells. It will charge with very little light. But then you may over charge, so it has to be monitored

Ejected by spring coil or pneumatics, ultimately recharged from solar (via own mini panel and/or mother-craft).

    Very strange that not one person involved in the designing of these Lunar missions by the various nations, not to mention NASA itself has neglected to contemplate the idea of incorporating a flickering beacon of light that would be visible from here on Earth into their missions. It seems to me that even the cheapest of dollar store solar powered garden lights would suffice, well, naturally a cheap dollar store light on steroids designed for the harsh varying temps on the Lunar surface - a beacon of light naturally would afford one and all the opportunity to look up and marvel at in wonder, makes no sense that it has yet to be accomplished. Where's the lighthouse, the early explorers always put up the lighthouse upon reaching their destination?

    Do you have any idea just HOW BLASTED FAR AWAY THE MOON IS??? No simple "beacon" would be visible at that distance (239,000 miles), as any such light source would have to be incredibly bright and very directional to be seen from that far away. We once fired two very high powered lasers into large Earth-based telescopes which were pointed at the Surveyor 7 lander near the crater Tycho while it was operating, and its TV camera was just able to detect them. There is no valid reason to haul all that equipment and electrical power source all the way to the moon just to repeat that experiment from there.

( And B.S,....any flicking beacon would be visible,...esp during a crescent moon when half is shaded, imo even a small mirror strategically placed upon the Lunar surface would afford those with the smallest of telescopes the opportunity to view a flicker from time to time from here on Earth as the ' incredibly bright ' Sun interacts with the mirror. )

If the lander is working now, and two robots move around the lander, we should expect to see many pictures or even videos. Why probes from the Mars which is much further than the Moon send a lot pictures and videos of a very good quality while Indian and Japanese probes send pictures of a very bad quality and no videos? It looks like American lunar program staged by Kubrick. Don't you think so?

    In the first place, this "SLIM spacecraft" is a spacecraft whose primary mission is to successfully make a pinpoint landing for the first time in the world. Although it is equipped with a special camera to analyze rocks and sand for its second mission, it does not have a high-performance camera. No need for high-resolution cameras that aren't necessary for the mission. The small autonomous robot's mission is just to take a few photos, and it doesn't need a long battery life. The small robot's mission has already been successfully completed and it has stopped functioning.
