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.

Press release (Japanese). Machine translation:
QUOTE Results of the Small Lunar Demonstrator (SLIM) Moon Landing
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) confirmed that the Small Lunar Module (SLIM) landed on the Moon at 0:20 am on 20 January 2024 (Japan Standard Time). Communications have been established since landing. However, the solar cells are not generating power, and priority is currently being given to data acquisition from the Moon's surface. Detailed analysis of the acquired data will be carried out in the future. We will keep you updated on the future status of the project. |
