Japanese Moon Lander Sends Back Data, Power Issues Continue

Despite the Japanese moon craft SLIM (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) making a successful landing on the lunar surface on Saturday, near the Shioli Crater, problems have arose with the solar cells that threaten to abort the mission. While data was sent back that verified landing precision data, according to Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), it could take a month to further verify where the landing exactly took place and whether or not it was close to the target.
