- Despite last-minute engine problems, Japan's "Moon Sniper" craft made a precise lunar landing.
- Thus, Japan became the fifth country to land softly on the moon, following the United States, the Soviet Union, China, and India.
- Its unmanned Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM), is also known as the "Moon Sniper".
- Due to its precision technology, it was designed to land within 100 metres of a specific landing spot on a crater.
- That is much more precise than the usual landing zone range that experts put at several kilometres.
- SLIM succeeded in a pin-point soft landing.
- The landing point is confirmed to be 55 metres away from the target point.
