As Japan's space agency prepares
As Japan's space agency prepares for its first moon landing early Saturday, it's aiming to hit a very small target.
The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, a lightweight spacecraft about the size of a passenger vehicle, is using “pinpoint landing” technology that promises far greater control than any previous moon landing.
