日本的SLIM探测器将于1月尝试历史性登月
Japan is preparing for its first-ever lunar landing with the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) probe in January. In the latest, SLIM, also called “Moon Sniper” has reached the lunar orbit. It aims to achieve an “unprecedentedly high precision landing” and will touch down within 100 meters of a specific site on the lunar surface. If successful, Japan will join the US, Russia, China, and India as the fifth nation to land a probe on the Moon.
日本正准备在1月份使用智能月球探测器（SLIM）进行首次登月。最近，SLIM，也被称为“月球狙击手”，已经到达月球轨道。它旨在实现“前所未有的高精度着陆”，并将在月球表面特定地点100米范围内着陆。如果成功，日本将加入美国、俄罗斯、中国和印度的行列，成为第五个在月球上着陆的国家。
