Japan's "Moon Sniper" from the SLIM mission successfully lands near the Shioli crater, providing scientific potential. An anomaly affected the solar panels, but JAXA is hopeful. Shioli crater reveals the moon's geological history and holds olivine, hinting at the moon's mantle. The mission's precision landing and focus on the Sea of Nectar promise richer scientific returns.
