The Smart Lander for Investigating the Moon (SLIM), developed by Japan’s space agency JAXA, became the first lunar lander to achieve an autonomous landing within just 100 meters of its target in early 2024. This breakthrough captivated researchers and space enthusiasts alike. Equipped with a near-infrared multi-band camera, SLIM provided high-resolution images of the lunar surface and made the exciting discovery of olivine within a lunar rock, offering new insights into the Moon’s geology.
