SLIM is a small Japanese lunar lander planned to launch this year.
Here: https://sorabatake.jp/25799/ is an article about it, with some images, describing two small landers which will deploy from it and operate on the surface. In Japanese. Open in something which will offer a translation if required. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

SLIM dropped its apolune to enter a c. 600 km circular orbit on the 14th. Here is a mosaic of images from the navigation camera made at the time.
It's just on the far side with Compton near the top centre and Schwarzschild the largest crater in the lower part of the mosaic. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
