Japan Moon Lander Survives Lunar Night

Japan’s Moon lander, known as Kaguya, successfully survived the harsh conditions of the lunar night, proving its durability and technological prowess.

The spacecraft, which landed on the Moon’s surface on a mission to study the lunar terrain and geology, faced extreme cold temperatures during the lunar night, which lasts for about two weeks. However, the lander’s advanced thermal control systems kept it operational and protected from the frigid conditions.

Scientists and engineers at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) celebrated the successful survival of Kaguya through the lunar night, marking a significant milestone in the mission’s success.

As the mission continues, Kaguya will continue to collect valuable data and insights about the Moon’s surface, helping to deepen our understanding of Earth’s closest celestial neighbor.

We look forward to the further discoveries and achievements that Kaguya will bring as it continues its mission on the Moon.
