A talk at the "Space Development and Utilization Subcommittee" meeting reported a little news on the SLIM rovers, LEV-1 & LEV-2.

LEV-1 (bigger, ☂️-shaped 🤖 that can talk to Earth) sent radiowaves home for 107 mins, including transmitting data from LEV-2 (SORA-Q: ball transformer that needs LEV-1 to phone home).

This was the world's 1st lunar robot-to-robot communication, 1st direct communication from something so teeny tiny, and 1st amateur ratio station on the Moon (UHF transmitted 📻 ).

@elizabethtasker Beforehand, six hops were announced? Also in the press conference a few days after landing, a slide was shown with six hops. But seven kind of matches what we measured (though we have not decoded the telemetry since the schema has not been published).

@elizabethtasker Thanks. I really look forward to learning what we actually received in Dwingeloo.
