TL;DR Summary

The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) successfully landed on the Moon but tipped over, leaving its solar panels facing away from the sun. Despite this setback, SLIM managed to take pictures and communicate with its team. However, due to the limited sunlight and extreme cold, SLIM and its rovers are expected to shut down permanently soon.
