Lunar Probe Lands Within 100 Meters of Target
Learn Japanese from the News - Season 3
DESCRIPTION
In January, Japan successfully landed an unmanned space probe on the moon. Japan's space agency JAXA said that SLIM touched down 55 meters east of the target site, achieving the world's first high-precision landing with a margin of error of less than 100 meters. We listen to the story in Japanese, learn about words such as "inai" (within) that describe a range of values, and spotlight a small robot co-developed with industry and academia that succeeded in photographing the lander on the moon.
