Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen West Window old clues delivery! CTOnews.com The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said today that it will launch H2A rocket 47 at around 8:42 local time (7:42 Beijing time) on September 7.

According to the original plan, this large launch vehicle should have been launched on August 26 to launch the lunar surface probe "SLIM". If successful,"SLIM" will be Japan's first probe to land on the lunar surface. However, due to weather conditions, the project was postponed three times.

CTOnews.com previously reported that the rocket was most recently delayed on August 28 and was scheduled to be relaunched at 8:26 a.m. Beijing time that day, but was bounced due to "weather caused by strong winds."

Inside the SLIM lunar probe that will be carried by the H2A rocket, SORA-Q, a miniature lunar rover jointly developed by JAXA and toy manufacturer TOMY, is also hidden. It looks like a sphere and is equipped with a small camera that can transmit images to Earth.

Japan plans a soft landing on the moon in January or February after successful rocket and probe tests, and if it succeeds, Japan will become the fifth country to explore the lunar surface after India. Obviously, the former Soviet Union, the United States, China, and India have all completed their missions to the moon, making Japan, which has long had a lunar landing plan, anxious.
