일본 달 탐사선 달 착륙 코앞 성공하면 세계 5번째 In other news. Japan is aiming to become the fifth country to successfully land on the moon. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency announced on Thursday that its probe named “Smart Lander for Investigating Moon“ will begin its 20-minute descent to the moon from midnight on Saturday. This lunar mission comes after two previous moon landing attempts failed ---one public and one private-led. The probe will be using “pinpoint“ technology to land within 100 meters of its target on the lunar surface, a technology that allows spacecraft to land at precise locations. If successful, Japan will become the fifth country, after the United States, the Soviet Union, China, and India to land a spacecraft on the moon. #Japan #JAXA #Moon #Lunar #SLIM #일본 #달탐사선 #슬림 #달 #우주 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2024-01-18, 21:00 (KST)
