Few notes on the JAXA SLIM landing -

  • SLIM did not land upside down. In spite of one failed engine, SLIM touched down upright and with nominal speed. It was the lateral leftward speed that caused it to rotate post touchdown.

  • The final resting place is 55m east of the target landing site.

  • At the 50 m hover mark, the positional accuracy was within 10m!

  • SLIM sent back data and images until it was shut down after 2.5 hours.

  • The tiny rovers did well.

  • Hope is alive 🤞
