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.
