"Japan's SLIM Probe: Uncertain Fate After Historic Lunar Landing Attempt"
TL;DR Summary
Japan's SLIM probe successfully landed on the moon, but its solar array is not generating electricity, and it is running on limited battery power. The probe deployed its two microprobes, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will provide updates on the lander's status. If successful, SLIM will study its surroundings and deploy two tiny rovers to gather data and snap photos.
