Japan to aim for moon this weekend; Becomes next in line for lunar mission after India, Russia

Japan will be the latest country to aim for the moon this weekend, just days after a Russian spacecraft collided with the lunar surface and India’s Chandrayaan-3 landed near its south pole.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s H2-A rocket is scheduled to take off on Sunday morning from Tanegashima Space Centre in southern Japan, carrying an advanced imaging satellite and a lightweight lander expected to touch down on the moon in January or February.

JAXA’s H2-A, the agency’s most reliable rocket with just one failure out of 42 launches since 2001, will be carrying the Small Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM.

Standing less than 3 metres tall, the lander could pave the way for other probes with high navigational accuracy.

The rocket will also be carrying the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, a satellite that will help scientists observe plasma in stars and galaxies.

'Sentinel': Scientists pioneering an underwater living space

Scientists are pioneering an underwater living space and hope to have permanent bases underwater in 2027. Oceans cover two-thirds of our planet and provide every other breath of oxygen we breathe, yet we know less about their deeper areas than we do about the surface of the moon.In a quarry in Chepstow - they want to change that. The former scuba diving site is now a hub of cutting-edge engineering owned by a company called DEEP. The centrepiece is a 60-metre long steel underwater habitat. It’s called Sentinel and hopes to provide a home for marine scientists as deep as 200 metres. Report by Faragt.
