S, 25.224867 deg. E, -0.79 km). This is 327 km E-SE \n  of the Apollo 16 landing site. Sunset will be 2024-Jan-31 @ 09:27 UTC.\n  \n  LEV-1 and Sora-Q landers deployed prior to touchdown. Sora-Q images\n  indicate SLIM landed on its nose, suffering engine and antenna damage\n  and with solar panels oriented westward, away from the Sun.\n  \n BACKGROUND\n  SLIM (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) is a small, light-weight JAXA \n  lunar lander intended to demonstrate high-precision soft landing with 100-m\n  accuracy using \"vision-based\" navigation. \n\n  SLIM was launched 2023-Sep-06 @ 23:42 UTC from Tanegashima Space Center \n  (Japan) on a H-IIA Launch Vehicle along with the separate X-Ray Imaging and \n  Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM). The telescope separated at 23:56 UTC, the\n  SLIM lunar lander shortly thereafter, on September 7 @ 00:29 UTC.\n\n  The lunar landing area will be located in a low-altitude region known as \n  the \"Sea of Nectar\", having a constant slope of 15 degrees or less, near \n  Shioli Crater at -13.3 deg (S), 25.2 deg. (E).\n\n  After landing, it will conduct science activities until lunar sunset, doing\n  composition analysis of rocks thought to be derived from the lunar mantle \n  using a multi-band spectral camera.\n\n  In addition, the SLIM mission also includes a small probe called the Lunar\n  Exploration Vehicle (LEV), which separates from the main spacecraft just \n  before landing and performs photo imaging. The mission also incorporates a\n  Lunar Retro-reflector Array (LRA) provided by NASA.\n\n MISSION TIMELINE\n  Arrival in lunar orbit : 3 to 4 months after launch (Jan 9, 2024)\n  Lunar orbit            : 1 month\n  Landing descent        : 4-6 months after launch (Jan-Apr)\n\n SPACECRAFT\n  Mass      :  200 kg (Dry) / 700-730 kg (w/fuel)\n  Dimensions:  2.4m x 1.7m x 2.7m\n  S-band communication\n  Landing radar\n  Laser range-finder\n \n PROPULSION\n  1 bi-propellant 500 N-class thruster \n    (used for orbital control and velocity regulation during lunar landing)\n  1 small 20-N 12 unit bi-propellant thruster \n    (generates translational and rotational forces, assisting attitude \n     control, orbit maneuvering, and precise landing\n\n SPACECRAFT TRAJECTORY: \n  Post-launch trajectory from JAXA.
