Japanese lunar probe communications restored. Japan's small lunar probe SLIM successfully landed on the lunar surface accurately within an error of 100 meters at 0:20 local time on January 20.

However, because the final landing attitude was different from the planned one, the solar panels on the probe were not facing the direction of the sun, resulting in the battery being unable to generate electricity. JAXA stated that SLIM's current body temperature is high and it will not be able to maintain long-term communication.
