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.

Scott Tilley agrees with this. I really hope the MBC can be operated in the c. 3 days we have left before sunset.
