- In this video, we will tell you the amazing story of SLIM, the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon. SLIM is a Japanese spacecraft that landed on the Moon with remarkable accuracy and explored a new zone of the lunar surface. But that’s not all. It also survived the freezing lunar night, which is a huge challenge for any spacecraft. And it did that without any heaters or insulation, just by using its batteries and software. How cool is that?

I take a personal pride in US successes, but I sure as hell root for other countries. Science before nationalism. Go, Japan!
Always love your mother nation, always.
It's the men from YOUR nation that keep you safe....unless you from some sick nation were they actively make your life hell. Wars, droughts ....
Every gain in space exploration adds to our knowledge regardless of the country.
🇨🇳You are all insane🇨🇳 salute to Japan 🍻
Yup@@ljre3397
You nailed the spirit of it all!
Well done Japan ---you made it !
Congratulations Japan, much love!
It’s great they are learning so much from SLIM’s Survival. What looked like somewhat of a failure has turned into a very informative mission.
Great distribution of the limited power supply. Big brain moves!
It is good to see that countries can work together and have success and hope that. all is well.
Awesome regardless. 🙂
Everybody wants instant success. A perfect setup is a luxury. In reality we must improvise, adapt and overcome.Good Video 🙂
Here here.
Congrats to Japanese space agency. Awesome work.
People who say anything bad against this effort . Saying it’s a waste of time, well……
I’m going say it’s too early….
Benefits from this crash has it set backs.
Yet there is a lot to learn .
If we don’t make mistakes, how do we know the true path.
No matter what country,
The efforts to gain even one form of
Information. Makes this all worth while.
Yes we could conserve the money for other things.
Space exploration of any type ,
Is a step towards preserving human life and our earthly environment.

On MY BIRTHDAY SLIM woke up!! CONGRATS The lander from India is closer to the Apollo Lunar modules and that's WHY it didn't topple over like Odie did. Congrats on the Japanese craft for its ROBUST SURVIVAL!
Happy Birthday
Yes happy gullible birthday if you believe in this crap.
Lander from india is nowhere near to apolo landings in apollo nasa choose the flatest part of moon but indian lander is in very treacherous area of moon
Appolo didn't land near the South
@@silvarajoomuniandy4316 NO it landed on a CGI simulation. 🙄
Amazing, great achievement for that "courageous" little and Smart Lander surviving that long Night on the Moon. Congratulations to Those responsible in building it and launching it to the Moon.
First SLIM, and now Odysseus landed and are now on their sides. I think Lunar teenagers have discovered "cow tipping."
Hey @NasaSpaceNews any plans for a video about the new moons discovered around Uranus and Neptune? Keep up the great videos 🍻
Lesson learned? The US and Japanese landers were top-heavy. The Indian one had wide-spread legs and a much lower center-of gravity. Coincidence?
So did the LMs, the US ranger and surveyor probes, the CCCP probes amd rover landers.
However private companies most want a tall upright probe to fit in Falcon or Delta or EU rocket nosecones. Artemis, Origin and SpaceX proposed manned base modules are also vertical like a 1950s B Movie.
Seems if they constructed it sideways for packing, legs on the long sides of these probes,they would still have a packable probe that could unfold.
Hurray!
I wonder if it lightly bounced, then tipped, awesome job making most of it. Great pic 🌝
Well, the real SLIM shady came back up.
Bravo Japan! Well done!
Whoohoo! Go JAXA, go!
Maybe not all we want, but a good performance, and good ability.
Fantastic.
They need to collaborate with BattleBots and incorporate uprighting machines to fix a bad landing, since the moon looks far from flat...
I think the issue is that it requires added weight and batter power to add those features. I think they have plenty of know how to do it, it is just you have to determine what features are essential and what are not.
I agree that the in house knowledge and skill exists.
With all the recent lander modules that have landed non optimal, the need for extra arms that can push it back upright, after falling over may more of a priority in future designs.
And a shout to all the teams who worked on these projects.
Just getting to the surface is a huge win!
1:35 "...when Earth is visible from its location." The Earth is always visible from every near-side location on the moon. Its position in the sky doesn't change outside of some wobbling around due to libration. Are you perhaps inferring that the transmission beam is that narrow?
Go clever Japan!
Just knowing that an "unprepared" probe can still operate after a night cycle indicates it won't be that hard to make future ones to be able to, increasing amount of science returned.
Good Job!
I wish more science channels would do the real image / animation identifiers in the upper right corner like you do here. Astrum is the only other that I know of who does this consistently.
Realy I like it
Found some ice, cool
Now looking for whiskey...
Its great!! I can see the moon from here on Earth.
You know the Kennedy president
Congratulations JAXA
The Moon has 3.8 times more land area than the US, including Alaska. But two week long nights do not sound very inviting even living in a warm bubble.
Do good
Be good
Be One
Odysseus is being called a success, and Slim is one as well. Hopefully, Odysseus will survive the lunar night.
Correction: India's lander did not land anywhere near the lunar south pole, which was 600 km away.
Yes it landed on the South polar region not South Pole.
Any photos coming from the moon these days kind of suck. We were able to broadcast live (with a delay) from the moon back in 1969, and now we're lucky to get a couple crappy pictures. I don't understand why that is.
Also.. how the heck those astronauts in 1969 survived the cold night and hot day on the moon?
C H E M T R A I L S ...
Why data communication between the Earth and the Moon is difficult？
Data transmission speed from the moon to the earth 129.6kbps
Data transmission speed from Earth to Moon 4.0kbps
Ground station of the Apollo program ~Until images of the moon reach our homes~
In order to lead a mission to success, it is essential to remotely understand the status of spacecraft and astronauts and to communicate between space and the ground. NASCOM (NASA Ground Communications System) is a ground network used by NASA until the 1990s that transmits audio, telemetry (data that informs the status of spacecraft and astronauts), and video data in near real time.
@@SameWaveLength Easy. By not going during the lunar night 😊
And to stay comfortable astronauts till today wear a layer of undergarment lined with tubes where water is pumped through.
Who was there to take the video, Impressive !!!
I was going to ask the same but they could just use random pictures to make a point. For the video purpose
I want to see pictures taken by the damn thing. This is 2024 and they still trying to give us 1960s picture quality, we need live feed
@@us3rG ... Yep, still smart people around us ! By the way, I don't see improvement in technology last 55 years 😉
Looks like IKEA got chosen for leg design.
I do not see the 6 landing pads extended ? 😊 thats why tipped over ?
They should make there spacecraft look like snow cones the pointy end is up and the round end is bottom heavy. That way they won't fail.
Yes, this one was top heavy.
It should also have 2024 camera quality
It should also have 2024 camera quality
Pointy end down ... So that it can stab right into surface like a lawn dart ...
solar cells and cameras all around the top end ...
It's not like it is coming back home to earth.
Japan did well!
back mountains look like NASA's pictures from 70's
Yeah, because hills are all over the moon.
How coincidental that both the Japanese and U.S. recent landings tipped over! Best to stick with the late 60's early 70's technology with manned missions!
Or just make sure that they have a wider base, 3 legs and a low center of mass.
@@Amradar123 And zero lateral motion at touchdown.
@@williamhanna4823 That would be good as well 😊
Why must it be any type of race into space? We must create a space force with teams consisting of all countries!!! Together we must do this!!
Don't feel bad, JAXA. The U.S. found a new way to make the same mistake too (falling over while landing on the moon). 🤣
No you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off an old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with SLIM!
what are they covering up on the pictures with the light grey areas?
The aliens who pushed it over 😊
No. That picture is made of a mosaic of 257 pictures taken by the Multi Band Camera. The grey areas were not imaged yet at the time the lander data was transmitted back to Earth.
@@Amradar123 ok as long as the stitching software defaults to grey, and not painted in if you know what i mean
Top things that moon will have
1. Many people on there
2. Many roovers tripping over 💀
Don't forget electric cars.
In the future , spacecraft would benefit from having a turtle mode built in, much like some drones have. That would provide a means to flip it upright.
Drones fly and land all by themselves.
They cost less than $1.000.00 dollars.
These space toys don't have this tech first and foremost ... ???
@@ronhobyak9902😮 To fly, an atmosphere is needed, as opposed to jetting around which works in outer space. The moon lacks an atmosphere, even one as thin as on Mars.
The only clear answer from science for the Moon's existence is = "somebody put it there"!
Somebody? But we first went to space in 1961.
And that is not the scientific answer.
@@Amradar123 There isn't a scientific answer for how much we love the moon, much less our children!
I suppose it had a slim chance of survival 😂
Redesign all of these space probe landers placing the payload in a "cage" such that no matter if they end up on their side or upside down, as long as the cage is not smashed, in other words, as long as the vehicle doesn't crash, it can be reoriented within the cage in an upright position with the correct orientation.

wasn't that India who landed on the lunar south pole first?
CRASHED
probe: help!

It is JAXA 😊 But I assume NASA haters will also be JAXA haters. They are veeeery open minded about many things but only not for the fact that we landed on the moon 😂
must have gave him external robotic arms so that he can stand up and reposition himself
moon has mantle?? thought it is hollow... lol
Duolabs Lord
Flerfs will say it's fake.
I'm sure some will say it's fake. No stars are in the image background, just like in the Moon landing. 😀
Looks like we need to send a repair robot up there to fix a few things though. I wonder how close the Indian lander is to the Intuitive lander? Maybe it could upright both of them.
all those fallin over probes, they need to just say F it fire the engines again see if it bounces up and then they can re land it, screw the risks, live it up, think of the GLORY
Why can't it try to use short bursts of its attitude control jets to push itself back upright?
How is it supposed to land up right without landing leggs?
The legs are on one of the sides. It was supposed to land as shown at 0:22
@@dansv1 OK, thanks.
What? No mention of China’s 3 landers? And orbiters! And importantly landing on the far side of the moon.
Come on. Why the omission of China’s landers, rovers, and sample return?
At least Grandpa's lunar landers landed right side up! Just saying. Ya know, Surveyor, Apollo... So, how yall doing these days? 0 for 2, maybe?
Grandpa's lunar landers ... Were landed in Hollywood.
@@ronhobyak9902Any scientific evidence to support your claim?
Another somewhat top-heavy lander which failed to land upright. Odysseus has the same issue. The proposed manned landers are also tall and relatively narrow. Fine if the Moon's surface is flat, horizontal and with no mixed hard and soft areas under a lander's feet. But, like the Earth, much of the Moon is not flat and firm.
If only there was cooperation instead of duplication! Humanity would advance instead of repeatedly re-inventing the wheel.
I ask myself why so many countries are now full bore into moon exploration after largely being ignored for 50 years.
Because of the water that is thought to be in Antarctica.
If Aliens can make crop circles why can't they stand our landers upright for us ???
Milkmaid stools have 3 legs for a reason, smh
As do tripods....
And Mini Me ... RIP.@@jeremygalloway1348
… you say the thing died because of “a problem with his engines”. Is that right? Yesterday, before I went to bed, they were saying that it was a problem with the altitude detecting radar. Which is it?
You may be confusing the two different lander's.
if theres any fuel left they should try and flip it over.
It crashed congrates!
It landed where it should but is tumbled upside down. Rovers were deployed, and most measurements could be performed successfully.
I used to think why the heck county likes of Japan has not yet made it to the space , hence yes I cant say or think that anymore. Go Japan.
I wonder how long before the Moon becomes the Earth's junkyard...like all the space junk in orbit today.
We’re gonna lunch a rusty 1968 Toyota Corona.

wow
It's becoming a meme lately of "falling over moonlanders", give those darn things much wider legs.
"...communicate only at certain times when the Earth is visible from its location." - The Earth is always visible from its landing location. This is the Moon, not Mars. :))
Make spherical lander with legs all over with internal stuff movable via rail based on gravity of moon..
What was in the Redacted areas?
Redacted stuff.
The aliens tipping over the lander 😅
No. The picture is made of a mosaic of 257 pictures taken by the Multi Band Camera. The grey areas were not imaged yet at the time the lander data was transmitted back to Earth.
Who or what took that picture?
I think it is the miniature rover SORA-Q made by Takara Tomy, a toy maker that has been popular in Japan for a long time.
SO HOW LONG SLIM CAN WORK ON THE MOON WITH YOUR GOOD NEWS ?
I think i have heard this story somewhere ... ??? ... Huh !?

Learn from India for proper landing and learn from Japan to survive the Lunar night. Combine them. It will be a successful mission.❤
Learn from China - success on the very first attempt.
Who has taken pictures 📸 of the luna tics lol
What was engineer thinking? It's like they're skipping the tipping possiblity.
The project leader said that the outcome of this mission was 60/100 points.
The main objective this time was to land within 100m of the target point (the world's first pinpoint landing), and the result was 55m! It seems that the error would have been 3 to 4 meters if the engine nozzle had not come off.
Until now, the landing error of lunar landers was a few kilometers to several tens of kilometers. Now you can get off precisely where you want to get off. The method of descent was the same as before, by checking the lander's camera and the map input to the lander while descending. What is different from before is that the performance of the camera and the performance of the automatic landing program have improved significantly.
@@tinbdeko5308 Maybe, they should add a robotic arm or wheels for their future lander.
The photo shows the camera mounted on the miniature rover, which was later transformed from a cube shape that was ejected from the lander just before landing. The rover is called SORA-Q, manufactured by Takara Tomy. (Currently on sale to the public).
Takara Tomy is a toy manufacturer that has been popular in Japan for a long time.
I was embarrassed to say that I didn't know that toy manufacturers were participating in space exploration. The thinking of toy manufacturers is also flexible, but I was surprised that JAXA, which adopted it, had such flexible thinking.
What I would like to say most is that through the toy SORA-Q, I think this mission has given the children who are familiar with the toy manufacturer an opportunity to imagine not only the internet world but also the universe and various ideas.
@@tinbdeko5308 Takara tomy was well known for making complex and high detailed design of their toy cars @ tomica. Maybe that's why jaxa entrusted them making a rover?
landing sequence
Before the start of the landing sequence:
Lunar ellipse 600km x 15km Before the sequence starts: In the lunar ellipse, determine the orbit and position of SLIM from the ground and notify SLIM. Based on this information, SLIM will begin reverse injection (injection in the opposite direction to the spacecraft's travel direction) of its main engine at an altitude of 15 km (perilunar point), and will proceed to the landing sequence.
Powered descent phase:
Altitude 15km → 3.5km The first part of the landing sequence is the powered descent phase. During the powered descent phase, there will be a total of four "coasting" periods of about 50 seconds, including at the beginning and end, during which the attitude of the camera mounted on the SLIM will be adjusted so that it is mounted on the lunar surface. . During the coasting period, the lunar surface will be photographed using a camera, and from the images the lunar surface will be used to estimate the lunar surface's position and speed with high accuracy. At the same time, the onboard computer will redesign the trajectory toward the landing point. SLIM will reach the sky above the landing site through this automatic control.
Vertical descent phase:
Altitude: 3.5km → 0m After reaching the sky above the landing site, the SLIM descends almost vertically while detecting the altitude using the landing radar.
Obstacle detection:
Altitude: Approximately 50m During the vertical descent phase, "obstacle detection" will be performed at an altitude of approximately 50m, and the horizontal position will be finely adjusted depending on the situation of obstacles directly below the spacecraft.
Cut off main engine:
Altitude: Approximately 2m When reaching near the lunar surface (e.g. approximately 3m altitude), the main engine will be cut off and the aircraft will land while performing attitude control!!
Unfortunately photographs of the way the camera is facing is all written now do
Why is all this info important now? Why haven’t been sending lunar rovers or landers before now?
Arthur C Clarke- who wrote, 2001: A Space Odyssey, said later, there were two things that really surprised him: How quickly we got to the moon (1969); but then, after having successfully gotten there, we then ‘left’ the moon, i.e., ignored it, and retreated; something he never envisioned. But, now we’re going back; this time, to stay. As the first step to expanding humanity, and, humanity’s economy, into the solar system. - Dave Huntsman
Where are its legs?!?! No wonder it tipped over.
The legs are on one of its sides. It was supposed to land as shown on 0:22.
I'm a little bit shocked. 😮
The US was the first nation who has send humans to the moon in the year 1969.
Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
Today it's not even possible to send an unmanned moonlander to the moon without overturning to a side.
Really?
It makes really hard to believe that any nation ever set a footstep on the Moon.
And they used very primitive computers (vs. today) and slide rules for many of the calculations. Today's generation probably have never seen the stuff they used and would say 'that's impossible'.
@@iworkout6912 The stuff they used, would today handle a smartphone within seconds.
That's my problem. Why they can't repeat the success of 1969.
They only need to rebuild the 1969 Rocket and the moonlander.
@@danielkaufmann15 It is difficult to re-inject the engine in places where there is no atmosphere and there is gravity.
Difficulty of automatic control and ease of manual control
And why didn't JAXA and NASA work together sent human to the moon ?
Why don’t they gamble the engine and try to level the probe to the correct position.
Rather tricky with no propellant left.
It was not necessary, as all of its missions were accomplished.
Not necessary. It would have been an unnecessary stunt. It worked just fine on its side, even deployed 2 rovers
Tell me something.....How do you know that, that mineral is only "found" in the moon's mantle???,what gives here...?
Why. Is so many country's interested in going to the moon after all these years
