The JAXA SLIM lunar lander was expected to wake up again around May 24, hopefully having survived a 4th brutal lunar night. After all, against all odds, it had survived the first 3 nights.

But it has not responded in two attempts made so far. Perhaps, its electronics finally succumbed to the lunar elements? The #SLIM team will try again tomorrow.

Note that the solar panels get sunlight well after lunar noon due to their unfortunate orientation with the lander in the upside down position.
🤞
