JAXA's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) is getting ready for landing on the lunar surface tomorrow Friday Jan 19 at 15:20 UTC.
The spacecraft, nicknamed the “Moon Sniper,” will demonstrate precision landing in a target area less than 100m in diameter, using real-time image recognition technology.
The spacecraft will land on a sloping surface near the crater Shioli.
SLIM carries a number of science instruments and will also deploy 2 rovers.
