"Japan's SLIM Moon Lander Successfully Revives After Lunar Night"

Japan's moon lander, Slim, has survived a two-week lunar night after a wonky landing last month, responding to a signal from Earth and carrying out scientific observations of a crater with a hi-spec camera. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) confirmed that Slim maintained its communication function during the lunar night, despite not being designed for such harsh conditions. This success comes after a string of recent failures for Japan's space program, making it the fifth country to achieve a "soft landing" on the moon.
