The lander that can!
The JAXA SLIM lunar lander woke up again, 27 days after its previous wake-up time. It survived a third brutal lunar night and promptly sent back this new image of the lunar surface.
This time, it woke up earlier during the day than on previous occasions. Note that the solar panels get sunlight well after lunar noon due to their unfortunate orientation.
That's one feisty lander, that took a licking but keeps on ticking!
👏
