According to the Japanese space agency Jaxa, the unmanned Japanese mini-spacecraft Slim has apparently landed on the moon.
“On the screen it looks like Slim has landed on the moon,” Jaxa employee Shin Toriumi said during a live broadcast on Saturday morning (local time). The status is under review, he added.
The fifth country to land on the moon
Two missions had previously failed. In the new attempt, Slim was supposed to land precisely in a crater on Earth’s satellite after a twenty-minute landing.
The landing is a major triumph for the Japanese space agency. So far, only the US, the Soviet Union, China and India have managed to land on the moon. (man)
