Japan's historic landing of an unmanned probe on the moon

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency officials said Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) touched down on Saturday. A group of women in Tokyo attempted to receive signals from SLIM using special equipment. But the task became difficult when the moon moved low on the Earth’s horizon.
A team at Wakayama University in Japan used a 12-meter antenna to communicate with the small rovers being carried by SLIM. Professor Akiyama Hiroaki said the signals they received suggest the probe has landed successfully.
