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.

I have learned a few things about the multispectral camera image. What we have seen so far is a low resolution monochrome survey of the field of view available to the instrument. It consists of 257 individual small frames. A total of 333 were supposed to be taken but the sequence was cut short to be sure it could all be transmitted. If SLIM is revived as the sun reaches its solar panel, a set of 10-band multispectral images will be taken of specific targets identified in the existing image. Those targets are presumably the six rocks identified by names (breeds of dog) in one image.
