Always love your mother nation, always. It's the men from YOUR nation that keep you safe....unless you from some sick nation were they actively make your life hell. Wars, droughts ....
People who say anything bad against this effort . Saying it’s a waste of time, well…… I’m going say it’s too early…. Benefits from this crash has it set backs. Yet there is a lot to learn . If we don’t make mistakes, how do we know the true path. No matter what country, The efforts to gain even one form of Information. Makes this all worth while. Yes we could conserve the money for other things. Space exploration of any type , Is a step towards preserving human life and our earthly environment. ❤
On MY BIRTHDAY SLIM woke up!! CONGRATS The lander from India is closer to the Apollo Lunar modules and that's WHY it didn't topple over like Odie did. Congrats on the Japanese craft for its ROBUST SURVIVAL!
Lander from india is nowhere near to apolo landings in apollo nasa choose the flatest part of moon but indian lander is in very treacherous area of moon
Amazing, great achievement for that "courageous" little and Smart Lander surviving that long Night on the Moon. Congratulations to Those responsible in building it and launching it to the Moon.
So did the LMs, the US ranger and surveyor probes, the CCCP probes amd rover landers. However private companies most want a tall upright probe to fit in Falcon or Delta or EU rocket nosecones. Artemis, Origin and SpaceX proposed manned base modules are also vertical like a 1950s B Movie. Seems if they constructed it sideways for packing, legs on the long sides of these probes,they would still have a packable probe that could unfold.
1:35 "...when Earth is visible from its location." The Earth is always visible from every near-side location on the moon. Its position in the sky doesn't change outside of some wobbling around due to libration. Are you perhaps inferring that the transmission beam is that narrow?
I think the issue is that it requires added weight and batter power to add those features. I think they have plenty of know how to do it, it is just you have to determine what features are essential and what are not.
I agree that the in house knowledge and skill exists. With all the recent lander modules that have landed non optimal, the need for extra arms that can push it back upright, after falling over may more of a priority in future designs. And a shout to all the teams who worked on these projects. Just getting to the surface is a huge win!
Just knowing that an "unprepared" probe can still operate after a night cycle indicates it won't be that hard to make future ones to be able to, increasing amount of science returned.
I wish more science channels would do the real image / animation identifiers in the upper right corner like you do here. Astrum is the only other that I know of who does this consistently.
Any photos coming from the moon these days kind of suck. We were able to broadcast live (with a delay) from the moon back in 1969, and now we're lucky to get a couple crappy pictures. I don't understand why that is.
Why data communication between the Earth and the Moon is difficult？ Data transmission speed from the moon to the earth 129.6kbps Data transmission speed from Earth to Moon 4.0kbps
Ground station of the Apollo program ~Until images of the moon reach our homes~ In order to lead a mission to success, it is essential to remotely understand the status of spacecraft and astronauts and to communicate between space and the ground. NASCOM (NASA Ground Communications System) is a ground network used by NASA until the 1990s that transmits audio, telemetry (data that informs the status of spacecraft and astronauts), and video data in near real time.
@@SameWaveLength Easy. By not going during the lunar night 😊 And to stay comfortable astronauts till today wear a layer of undergarment lined with tubes where water is pumped through.
Pointy end down ... So that it can stab right into surface like a lawn dart ... solar cells and cameras all around the top end ... It's not like it is coming back home to earth.
I was going to ask the same but they could just use random pictures to make a point. For the video purpose I want to see pictures taken by the damn thing. This is 2024 and they still trying to give us 1960s picture quality, we need live feed
How coincidental that both the Japanese and U.S. recent landings tipped over! Best to stick with the late 60's early 70's technology with manned missions!
What? No mention of China’s 3 landers? And orbiters! And importantly landing on the far side of the moon. Come on. Why the omission of China’s landers, rovers, and sample return?
Redesign all of these space probe landers placing the payload in a "cage" such that no matter if they end up on their side or upside down, as long as the cage is not smashed, in other words, as long as the vehicle doesn't crash, it can be reoriented within the cage in an upright position with the correct orientation.
Another somewhat top-heavy lander which failed to land upright. Odysseus has the same issue. The proposed manned landers are also tall and relatively narrow. Fine if the Moon's surface is flat, horizontal and with no mixed hard and soft areas under a lander's feet. But, like the Earth, much of the Moon is not flat and firm.
Don't feel bad, JAXA. The U.S. found a new way to make the same mistake too (falling over while landing on the moon). 🤣 No you don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off an old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with SLIM!
The aliens who pushed it over 😊 No. That picture is made of a mosaic of 257 pictures taken by the Multi Band Camera. The grey areas were not imaged yet at the time the lander data was transmitted back to Earth.
all those fallin over probes, they need to just say F it fire the engines again see if it bounces up and then they can re land it, screw the risks, live it up, think of the GLORY
In the future , spacecraft would benefit from having a turtle mode built in, much like some drones have. That would provide a means to flip it upright.
@@ronhobyak9902😮 To fly, an atmosphere is needed, as opposed to jetting around which works in outer space. The moon lacks an atmosphere, even one as thin as on Mars.
I'm sure some will say it's fake. No stars are in the image background, just like in the Moon landing. 😀 Looks like we need to send a repair robot up there to fix a few things though. I wonder how close the Indian lander is to the Intuitive lander? Maybe it could upright both of them.
… you say the thing died because of “a problem with his engines”. Is that right? Yesterday, before I went to bed, they were saying that it was a problem with the altitude detecting radar. Which is it?
It is JAXA 😊 But I assume NASA haters will also be JAXA haters. They are veeeery open minded about many things but only not for the fact that we landed on the moon 😂
@@clausbohm9807 I am retired from a career in engineering, so I've had more than my share of failures. My comment was meant to be tongue in cheek. Cheers.
I'm a little bit shocked. 😮 The US was the first nation who has send humans to the moon in the year 1969. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. Today it's not even possible to send an unmanned moonlander to the moon without overturning to a side. Really? It makes really hard to believe that any nation ever set a footstep on the Moon.
And they used very primitive computers (vs. today) and slide rules for many of the calculations. Today's generation probably have never seen the stuff they used and would say 'that's impossible'.
@@iworkout6912 The stuff they used, would today handle a smartphone within seconds. That's my problem. Why they can't repeat the success of 1969. They only need to rebuild the 1969 Rocket and the moonlander.
@@danielkaufmann15 It is difficult to re-inject the engine in places where there is no atmosphere and there is gravity. Difficulty of automatic control and ease of manual control
"...communicate only at certain times when the Earth is visible from its location." - The Earth is always visible from its landing location. This is the Moon, not Mars. :))
Arthur C Clarke- who wrote, 2001: A Space Odyssey, said later, there were two things that really surprised him: How quickly we got to the moon (1969); but then, after having successfully gotten there, we then ‘left’ the moon, i.e., ignored it, and retreated; something he never envisioned. But, now we’re going back; this time, to stay. As the first step to expanding humanity, and, humanity’s economy, into the solar system. - Dave Huntsman
The project leader said that the outcome of this mission was 60/100 points. The main objective this time was to land within 100m of the target point (the world's first pinpoint landing), and the result was 55m! It seems that the error would have been 3 to 4 meters if the engine nozzle had not come off. Until now, the landing error of lunar landers was a few kilometers to several tens of kilometers. Now you can get off precisely where you want to get off. The method of descent was the same as before, by checking the lander's camera and the map input to the lander while descending. What is different from before is that the performance of the camera and the performance of the automatic landing program have improved significantly.
The photo shows the camera mounted on the miniature rover, which was later transformed from a cube shape that was ejected from the lander just before landing. The rover is called SORA-Q, manufactured by Takara Tomy. (Currently on sale to the public). Takara Tomy is a toy manufacturer that has been popular in Japan for a long time. I was embarrassed to say that I didn't know that toy manufacturers were participating in space exploration. The thinking of toy manufacturers is also flexible, but I was surprised that JAXA, which adopted it, had such flexible thinking. What I would like to say most is that through the toy SORA-Q, I think this mission has given the children who are familiar with the toy manufacturer an opportunity to imagine not only the internet world but also the universe and various ideas.
well It's bothersome to see 2 have tipped over & makes me nervous about the human Apollo landings, 6 for 6 not 1 went bad & all landed perfectly? I'm worried that the greatest moment in my childhood may have not been real? IN any case.. lets do science ok folks, Apollo ..low wide only 4 legs & not top heavy or body narrow, Japan rolls over, & Odysseus tips over ..hum? & I'm no scientist folks but ya think the amazing brains missed something very very simple?!
Because, Apollo mission lunar lander was controlled by human. Unmanned lunar lander relied on data and software's landing sequence. There are chances of sensor miscalculation and programming error.

So, how come every crater's impact has a 90 degree angle? There's no angled impacts . . . no skid marks, no multiple craters from a hit, such as by, on Earth, skipping stones on the surface of water . . . gotta mean that craters are formed by some other means, besides meteorites.
Gravity on tne moon is 1/5th of Earth and is in vacuum so the impact and dust go different. There are some craters where you can see the "skid" and bouncing, like near Rima T Mayer; Davy Crater Chain; crater chain north of Mare Orientale
landing sequence Before the start of the landing sequence: Lunar ellipse 600km x 15km Before the sequence starts: In the lunar ellipse, determine the orbit and position of SLIM from the ground and notify SLIM. Based on this information, SLIM will begin reverse injection (injection in the opposite direction to the spacecraft's travel direction) of its main engine at an altitude of 15 km (perilunar point), and will proceed to the landing sequence. Powered descent phase: Altitude 15km → 3.5km The first part of the landing sequence is the powered descent phase. During the powered descent phase, there will be a total of four "coasting" periods of about 50 seconds, including at the beginning and end, during which the attitude of the camera mounted on the SLIM will be adjusted so that it is mounted on the lunar surface. . During the coasting period, the lunar surface will be photographed using a camera, and from the images the lunar surface will be used to estimate the lunar surface's position and speed with high accuracy. At the same time, the onboard computer will redesign the trajectory toward the landing point. SLIM will reach the sky above the landing site through this automatic control. Vertical descent phase: Altitude: 3.5km → 0m After reaching the sky above the landing site, the SLIM descends almost vertically while detecting the altitude using the landing radar. Obstacle detection: Altitude: Approximately 50m During the vertical descent phase, "obstacle detection" will be performed at an altitude of approximately 50m, and the horizontal position will be finely adjusted depending on the situation of obstacles directly below the spacecraft. Cut off main engine: Altitude: Approximately 2m When reaching near the lunar surface (e.g. approximately 3m altitude), the main engine will be cut off and the aircraft will land while performing attitude control!!

Someone PLEASE tell these guys that we discovered this new technology ... We call it a WHEEL ... I hear they are adding them to all kinds of flying vehicles.
On Apollo 15 astronaut Dave Scott tried an experiment on the lunar surface. He dropped a hammer and a feather from the same height. They fell at the same rate and hit the ground at the same time. If he’d dropped a hydrogen balloon in place of the feather, the results would have been the same. ???? ... Maybe ? Is there an atmosphere on the Moon? For a long time scientists thought that there was no atmosphere on the Moon, but recent studies have confirmed that there is one. The very thin atmosphere, known as an exosphere, contains helium, argon, neon, ammonia, methane and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen would rise above these gases, being the lightest existing gas (7% the density of air, 0.08988 g/L at STP) Assuming ( hypothetical, A balloon with no weight filled with hydrogen would float off the moon and into space and/or expand and pop. The Moon’s much weaker gravity corresponds to an escape speed of only 5400 mph, a speed gas molecules can attain. This significantly lower escape speed means that, over time, the molecules that constitute any atmosphere on the Moon would eventually escape into space. Anything going up is considered flying to me. @@Amradar123
@@ronhobyak9902 That would be a nice experiment for the Artemis astronauts 😊 A baloon filled with helium floats as it's the second lightest element in the periodic table. So it moves upward due to buoyancy. An airplane flies because of its speed and wingshape that generate an air presure difference above and below the wing which is generating lift. It is possible to fly on Mars, see the lovely Ingenuity copter, but on the moon the atmosphere is just a few atoms here and there and thus near total vacuum so it is not possible. So those are 2 different processes 😊 The ballon by the intrinsic physical differences in density of helium FLOATS and the other one by activily generating differences in density FLIES Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. Sry, biologist joke about flying 😊
