Sora-Q, aka Lev-2, is made by a toy maker Tomy and Sony, has a very short life span of 2 hours. The hopping rover Lev-1 has also reportedly shutdown. Which means the lander and its two rovers have all shutdown. Sora-Q is essentially just a robotic camera. I won't be surprise if Tomy/Sony start selling it, or something related to it, to consumer.


Quote from BBC.

The image was captured by the small baseball-sized robot called Sora-Q that was ejected from Slim moments before touchdown last Saturday.

"An abnormality in the main engine affected the landing attitude of the spacecraft," the Japanese space agency Jaxa said in a statement.

It seems one of the two big thrusters on Slim (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) stopped working during the descent.

To get the picture to Earth, Sora-Q first had to transmit it to a second ejected roving robot, Lunar Excursion Vehicle 1, or Lev-1. This hopping robot has radio equipment that can contact mission control independently of Slim.

The lander itself was shut down three hours after arrival because it could not get its solar cells to work. With the battery rapidly draining, Jaxa officials took the decision to hibernate Slim.

Not only did Sora-Q move on the lunar surface and take its picture, but Lev-1 also managed to hop. Like Slim, Lev-1 has also powered down.
