The Japanese lunar module Slim has "resumed operations", the Japanese space agency (Jaxa) announced on Monday January 29. Slim module (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) made a historic moon landing on January 20, 55 meters from its initial target, a very high degree of precision.

But Jaxa announced shortly after that Slim could not use its solar panels, forcing it to cut off its power supply less than three hours after the moon landing, to save its batteries for a possible restart.
