The launch time of the Japanese lunar probe was postponed to next year, which was originally scheduled for last year.

CTOnews.com Sept. 27, according to CCTV citing the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) September 27 news, affected by this year's new rocket priority launch plan, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) postponed the lunar probe "SLIM" launch to next year.

The lunar probe was originally scheduled to be launched using an H2A rocket in 2021, but the SLIM lunar probe was delayed until this year due to delays in the development of other satellites carried by the rocket, and now the launch plan has been postponed again.

CTOnews.com learned that the core of Japan's lunar exploration is to launch a "SLIM" probe that can land accurately on the moon, which can limit the error range of lunar landing to less than 100m. Based on the experience of this lunar landing, Japan and India will jointly launch a new lunar probe in 2023.
