Moon probe is the first in the world to land within 100m of its planned location
On the 20th of this month, the Japanese probe ``SLIM’’ landed on the moon.
JAXA announced on the 25th that after examining the data received from SLIM, it appeared to have landed 55m east of the planned location.
According to JAXA, this is the first time in the world that a lunar probe has landed within 100 meters of its planned location.
Until now, it was more than 1 km away.
JAXA says parts of the engine fell off during the trip to the moon, causing it to be oriented in a different direction than planned.
