BBC article:

"It is not yet clear how long the craft will be able to operate - it all hinges on the angle of the Sun and solar panels. The Sun will eventually set on the lander and Jaxa has previously warned that it was not designed to survive a lunar night, when the surface of the Moon is not exposed to the Sun for about 14 days."

Space article:

"JAXA will need to wait out the roughly 14.5-Earth-day-long lunar nighttime and then wait for favorable lighting and temperature conditions later in the next lunar daytime (which starts around Feb. 15) before SLIM can potentially be revived once more. For the probe to awake again, however, its electronics must hold up in the face of equatorial lunar nighttime temperatures of around minus 208 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 130 degrees Celsius)."

~Feb. 25th, 2024 (my own estimate, plus or minus a few days) is when there should be enough sunlight hitting the solar panels to attempt a revival of the lander.

Resolution Criteria:

-Market will resolve YES if: any signal is received from the SLIM probe indicating the electronics have survived the lunar night

-Market will resolve NO if: no signal is received from the SLIM probe after the lunar night
