SLIM Mission

SLIM Mission

✔️ The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Chandrayaan-2 mission has become a cornerstone for international space missions, including Japan's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM).

✔️ The collaboration between ISRO and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is set to deepen with the upcoming LUPEX mission, a joint India-Japan enterprise.

✔️ However, before LUPEX comes to fruition, Jasa's SLIM mission has already benefited from ISRO's experiences.

✔️ SLIM, which entered lunar orbit recently, after a months-long journey, was aiming for a precision landing within 100 meters of its target site, showcasing an advancement in landing accuracy.
