OK people! An update from the #JAXA#SLIM team about the spacecraft have been posted on twitter (with the secret hope that y'all hush long enough to get some decent data analysis done 😅 ).
@RolloTreadway I think this means that they're not completely sure recovery will happen even when the sunlight shines from the right direction, i.e. the "if" is for generating power, not sunlight direction. For example, I guess SLIM could be in shadow (like Philae) or there might be other issues.
