Japan’s lander fell asleep on the moon
Japan Moon Mission: Japan has landed a lander on the lunar surface under its Moon mission. But the problem is that it has slept on the moon itself. Now it is difficult to say how much hope there is of its awakening. It is being told that its battery has exhausted. Due to this the lander has lost contact with the Earth.
Smart Lander for Investigating the Moon shuts down due to solar power failure. Due to this, Japan’s promising moon mission is now in danger. Due to fault in the solar panel, its battery is not able to be fully charged. However, no official information has come about the closure of the lander. But it is being speculated that the battery may have been discharged. However, Japan’s moon mission through lander was successful. Japan’s lander was successful in reaching the surface of the moon for the first time.
Solar panel in the wrong direction of the sun
It is believed that the solar panel of the lander is in the wrong direction. For this reason no light is falling on it. The direction of the Sun is expected to change next month. Space agency chief Hitoshi Kuninaka, while explaining the situation, had said that it takes 30 days for the solar angle to change on the Moon. In such a situation, when the solar angle changes, the light will come from the other side. This allows light to hit the solar cell. The space agency hopes that changes in the sun’s position could bring the moon lander back to life.
Japan created history
Japan had created a new history in space science through landing on the moon. Japan became the fifth country to send a lander to the moon. But during this time there was a shadow coming where it landed. However, Japan’s mission was successful to some extent. This lander is called Moon Sniper. Because it can make precise landing. Where other spacecraft are given an area of ​​several kilometers for landing. Japan’s slim lander made a precise landing in an area of ​​just 100 meters.
Entry into the Moon’s orbit took place on December 25.
SLIM was launched in September and entered lunar orbit on 25 December. Before this, Japan has made several attempts for Moon mission. By reaching the moon, Japan became a part of the elite space club where till now there were only four countries.
