🔭 Science & Futuristic Tech
Japan's recent achievement in lunar exploration is notable for two reasons: its precision and its historical significance. The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) mission successfully landed within 100 meters of its target near the Shioli crater, a feat achieved through advanced vision-based navigation technology. This precise landing makes Japan only the fifth country to successfully land a spacecraft on the Moon, marking a significant milestone in the global space race, especially highlighting Asia's growing role in space exploration.
