The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA’s) SLIM lander will demonstrate accurate landing technology as well as a low-cost, lightweight infrastructure.
Japan is launching a lander to the lunar surface hot on the heels of India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander, which became the first to ever land near the lunar south pole this week.
A Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) H2-A rocket will launch the SLIM mission on August 28 at 09:26 JST (August 27, 20:26 EDT) from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan.
