2024, cheers for the SLIM spacecraft landing on the moon. Making Japan the fifth country to successfully send a spacecraft to explore the surface of Earth's satellite.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency revealed this Intelligent lander for lunar exploration (SLIM) successfully entered its orbit around the moon. Before it was scheduled to land for the night January 19, 2024 If the landing succeeds, it will succeedJapan becomes the fifth country after Russia, the United States and China And India Which succeeded in sending the only spacecraft to explore the Earth's surface via satellite

Sound craft It successfully entered orbit with Perillon, or the closest point to the Moon, at a distance of 600 km, and Apollonian, or the farthest point from the Moon, at a distance of 4,000 km, on December 25, 2023. The craft will gradually orbit in low orbit until mid-January to prepare for landing.

SLIM is the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's first lunar lander. This vehicle is only 2.4 meters long, and its mission is: to test the accuracy of the lunar landing technology on a target area not exceeding 100 meters in size. The landing technology at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is called Pinpoint Landing, which is a precise landing as if it were arranged or Called In-situ Observations, this landing differs from traditional lander in which there is often a margin of error of several kilometers. In the past, Neil Armstrong piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft into an elliptical landing zone 20 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide.

The SLIM mission is scheduled to land soonShiuli pit Per day January 19, 2024 At approximately 10:40 PM Thai time, the Cheoli Hole area is a point not far from the Moon's equator. The area will look like a slight hill.

If the moon landing succeeds, it will explore and collect information about the composition of rocks on the moon. Which will help scientists discover the birth of the Moon and can help scientists uncover the mystery of the formation of rocks that are believed to be part of the Earth's mantle.
