As of 8th March 2021 Monday, The CNSA –China National Space Administration Belt and Road Initiative Lunar Mission CLEP – China Lunar Exploration Program……Chang’e-4 successfully awakened completed the 28th day of the work period after the Chinese Lunar New Year – year of the OX also extending its greetings on International Women’s Day …. .On the far back of the moon on the 103 Kilometer Von Karman diameter wide Crater, the Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2″ lunar rover…….Chang’e 4 completed the 28th day of the month……….. The Moon Chang’e” joins “Heavenly Questions” to extend greetings on Women’s Day on “March 8th”…. Also this year in Beijing on the early second weeks of  March is the Sessions ….. This year’s “Two Sessions” are drawing a grand blueprint for the development of a new era and a new stage. Today we are ushering in the “International Women’s Day”. Above the moon and Mars, “Chang’e” joins “Heavenly Questions” and supports “Comrade Women from Half the Sky extended their sincere holiday greetings.

Also today on the 8th March 2021 Monday, the Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover completed the wake-up setting, ushering in the 28th day of the month. As of today, Chang’e-4 has successfully worked on the back of the moon for 795 Earth days…..

As shown in Figure 1, the lunar rover is currently located northwest of the landing site of Chang’e 4, about 429 meters straight from the landing site. During the 28th day of the month, the lunar rover plans to move toward the basalt (approximately 1.2km from the current patrol device, near 177.5389° east longitude and 45.4119° south latitude), which is located northwest of the current detection point.

(1) The panoramic camera will detect at least once in a circle, and it is expected to detect near the noon of the moon;

(2) The infrared imaging spectrometer has at least two detections and one calibration;

(3) Simultaneously carry out the detection of the neutral atom detector while the infrared imaging spectrometer is carrying out the detection;

(4) Synchronous detection of lunar radar during driving.

Recently, Tianwen-1 has taken full-color images and color images of Mars in its orbit around Mars. Among them, the color images taken by the medium-resolution camera in the “gaze” mode, the polar cap of Mars’ north pole is clearly visible. At present, Tianwen-1 is conducting a detailed survey of the pre-selected landing area in preparation for landing on the surface of Mars.

As of 7th January 2021 Thursday, The CNSA –China National Space Administration Belt and Road Initiative Lunar Mission……Chang’e-4 successfully awakened and entered the 26th day of the work period….Waking up  Chang’e 4 awakened smoothly and entered the 26th day of work….. With a new round of dawn on the back of the moon, Chang’e 4 ushered in the 26th day of the month, and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover at 10 o’clock on January 7 waking up at 29 minutes, the lander woken up at 03:13 on January 8. As of today, Chang’e-4 has been in operation for 736 Earth days, continuing to refresh the record of human probes working on the back of the moon.

During the day of this month, the lunar rover will continue to travel towards the basalt distribution area or the impact crater area with high reflectivity (approximately 27m from the current detection point, and there is a degenerated impact crater with a diameter of approximately 160m in the south of the crater), both of which are located in the northwest direction of the current detection point.

With a new round of dawn on the back of the moon, Chang’e 4 ushered in the 26th day of the month. The “Yutu 2” lunar rover awakened at 10:29 on January 7 and the lander at 03:13 on January 8 wake. As of today, Chang’e-4 has been in operation for 736 Earth days, continuing to refresh the record of human probes working on the back of the moon.

During the day of this month, the lunar rover will continue to travel towards the basalt distribution area or the impact crater area with high reflectivity (approximately 27m from the current detection point, and there is a degenerated impact crater with a diameter of approximately 160m in the south of the crater), both of which are located in the northwest direction of the current detection point.

(2) Detection and calibration of infrared imaging spectrometer.

(3) The neutral atom detector is turned on for detection.

(4) Synchronous detection of lunar radar during driving. The scientific research team will continue to conduct scientific analysis on the acquired detection data, and relevant results will be released in time.

 

Previously……. As of 22 December 2020, The CNSA –China National Space Administration Belt and Road Initiative Lunar Mission The “Yutu-2” lunar rover has a mileage exceeding 600 meters, completing the 25th day of work….The Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover completed the 25th day of the month at 5 o’clock on December 22 and 19:22 on the 21st, respectively. The moon night mode setting was completed according to ground instructions and entered moon night sleep. As of today, the Chang’e-4 lander and the “Yutu-2” lunar rover have been working on the moon for 719 days, and the lunar rover has travelled 600.55 meters in total……

Researchers conduct research and analysis on the detection data obtained in 25 months, and continue to produce scientific results. A recent scientific achievement published in the internationally authoritative academic journal Astrophysical Journal Letters (Xu et al 2020) shows that the lunar neutron and radiation dosimeter mounted on the Chang’e-4 lander detected a solar high-energy particle event on the back of the moon (SEP). This is the first time that a human probe has detected SEP on the surface of the moon, verifying the performance of the instrument, and also made a detailed analysis of the acceleration mechanism and the acceleration source area of the SEP.

Previous observations made by Chang’e-4 indicate that the radiation intensity on the surface of the moon is about 100 times that of the earth (Zhang et al. 2020, Space. Adv.). Since the moon does not have the same atmosphere and magnetic field as the earth, the Galactic cosmic ray (GCR) can easily reach the surface of the moon. Such high-intensity background radiation can cause damage to astronauts working on the surface of the moon. In addition, when solar activity erupts, the solar high-energy particle event will cause the particle flux to increase by thousands of times, and the space radiation will also be greatly enhanced. Therefore, the observation of the arrival of high-energy particles of the sun on the moon is particularly important.

In 2019, the sun is in a very small year, no sunspots have appeared for a long time, and the chance of observing solar high-energy particle events is even smaller. Chang’e-4 captured such an event. The study found that both electrons and protons exhibit good velocity dispersion. By linearly fitting the data points, it is possible to deduce the release time of particles from the acceleration zone and the distance the particles travel in interplanetary space before reaching the moon.

In addition, the proton energy spectrum of this SEP event was further analysed, including the GCR background energy spectrum and the background subtracted energy spectrum. According to the energy spectrum with the background subtracted, the dashed power law spectrum is used to fit it, and it is found that the energy inflection point is about 2.5MeV….

Lunar Mission on the One Hundred Kilometer diameter Von Karman Crater    Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover the Chang’e-4 lander and the “Yutu-2” lunar rover have completed 24 Day -month scientific exploration on the back of the moon … in which Chang’e-4 completed the 24th day of the work, 嫦娥五号探月 is about to embark on a journey to the moon…… The Chang’e-4 lander and the “Yutu-2” lunar rover were at 12 o’clock and 3 on November 22, respectively finished the 24th day of the month at 10:10, and entered the moonlight sleep. As of today, Chang’e-4 has worked on the back of the moon for 690 Earth days, with a cumulative mileage of 589.6 meters.


Based on the 23rd month and day panoramic camera stitched images, DOM images and other data, the “Yutu 2” lunar rover continued to move towards the basalt direction and the high reflectivity impact crater area during the 24th day. Both locations are located northwest.
The infrared imaging spectrometer carried on the “Yutu-2” lunar rover obtained the spectroscopic and mineralogical characteristics of the lunar soil and lunar rocks on the inspection route, in order to reveal the material composition of the landing zone, especially the largest impact basin on the moon-Antarctica-Ai …..The deep lunar material composition contained in the Turken Basin provides important support. The scientific results were published in the international journal “Remote Sensing”.

 

On the far back of the moon, Chang’e 4 completed its 24th day of the moon and entered moon night dormancy; at the Hainan Wenchang Space Launch Field in the motherland, Chang’e 5 has stood on the launch tower, and a “new partner” will soon be ushered on the moon. . At present, various systems are undergoing various tests and other final preparations, and the mission has entered the launch implementation phase, and Chang’e 5 is about to embark on a journey to the moon. Different from the first and second phases of the lunar exploration project, the Chang’e-5 mission of the third phase of the lunar exploration project has a “two-way ticket”, which will realize my country’s first automatic sampling and return of extraterrestrial objects, and complete the lunar exploration project “around, fall, and return.” “Three-step strategic planning has laid a solid foundation for follow-up tasks.

嫦娥四号完成第24月昼工作，嫦娥五号探月任务 即将踏上奔月之旅】嫦娥四号着陆器和“玉兔二号”月球车分别于11月22日12时和3时10分完成第24月昼工作，进入月夜休眠。截至今天，嫦娥四号已在月球背面工作690个地球日，累积行驶里程589.6米。

 

基于第23月昼全景相机拼接影像、DOM影像等数据情况，“玉兔二号”月球车在第24月昼期间继续向玄武岩方向和反射率较高的撞击坑区域前进，这两个位置均位于西北方。
“玉兔二号”月球车上搭载的红外成像光谱仪获取了巡视探测路线上的月壤和月岩的光谱学和矿物学特征，为揭示着陆区物质成分尤其是月球最大的撞击盆地-南极-艾特肯盆地所蕴含的月球深部物质组成提供了重要支撑。科学成果发表在《Remote Sensing》国际期刊。

 

在遥远的月球背面，嫦娥四号完成第24月昼工作进入月夜休眠；在祖国的海南文昌航天发射场，嫦娥五号已经矗立在发射塔架，月球之上即将迎来一位“新伙伴”。目前，各系统正在进行各项测试等最后准备工作，任务进入发射实施阶段，嫦娥五号即将踏上奔月之旅。与探月工程一期和二期不同的是，探月工程三期嫦娥五号任务拥有“双程票”，将实现我国首次地外天体自动采样返回，完成探月工程“绕、落、回”三步走战略规划，为后续任务奠定坚实基础。(中国探月工程)

On 8th December 2018 CNSA launched a Long March 3B to study the darkside of the moon with a Cute lunar Rover Change4..

On an Eighth December 2018, in the early Morning Saturday, launching from Xichang Satellite Launch center, in Sichuan Province- China from one of many of CNSA – China National Space Administration launch complexes… in which on the early hours of 0223 Morning Beijing time, it launched on the Reliable Long March 3B Carrier Rocket … in which that the Lunar Rover is been delivered towards the moon’s dark side, in which a previous communications satellite relay package mission has been sent  early this year in which it was launch on 21st May 2018, on a an reliable Long March 4C configuration Carrier Rocket…  in which creating a communications relay back to the CNSA’s Communications network towards it respective centres .. For the Belt and Road Initiative science organisations with Netherlands, Germany, Sweden also Saudi Arabia..

The Change4 Lunar Rover Probe is design like a rover explorationally mobile unit, in which its design as a very low receiving frequency astronomically Radio observatory, with various installations onboard  to procure, data analysis information by surveying the lunar landscape, also study various materials, chemical compositions within the surface..  Also to study Neutron radiation levels also Neutral Atoms …

In that prior mission on 21st May 2018 it was preparations towards a later mission to Launch Chang’e 4 Lunar Probe that would land on the Dark Side of the moon in which Earth’s Moon Luna is Tidally Lock one side is constant facing Earth the other side is not due to the Earth’s history it slowly gradually stop the Moons rotation..

The preparationally work Launching towards the Dark side of the moon in which to establishment of communication with Queqiao- Known as the Magpie Bridge in which namely relating to the Jin Dynasty story with Cowhearder and Weaver girl in which the Magpie forms a Milky way bridge to  have the lovers to meet together …..  In which is the same way for making that communications relay point with the other side of the moon with Earth… in which Chang’e is the name of the Luna goddess in which relates towards the Mid-Autumn festival…..  in which related to a time in Imperial China History where there was massive famine where it was the weather environment was so unbearable to live in which it relates to it was so hot it felt like ten suns had heated up on Middle Kingdom –China in which a General whom Archery skills where unmatched that he fired his arrows towards nine suns therefore reducing the hot environment…after the events the Archer General Hou Yi was given the  elixir of immortality in which apparent someone was tempting to steal the elixir then Hou Yi wife intervene by eating the pill then she ascend towards the night sky toward the moon with.. in Hou Yi paid tribute to his wife with many offerings to her during the Mid-Autumn festival..

On 8th December 2018 CNSA launched a Long March 3B to study the darkside of the moon with a Cute lunar Rover Change4..

It is the first time that CNSA has sent a lunar rover towards the other side of the moon, also it’s the first time a Space agency has done so… Chang’e four Lunar Rover is the advance version of also its was currently a backup rover to its older sisters… Landing on the far side of the moon, is the proposal Von Karman Crater, with the flat basin Chang’e four mission profile is to measure the lunar surface temperature over during its mission duration, to measure the various chemicals and material compositions on that side of the moon… also the rover acts like a radio astronomy in low frequencies also cosmic ray structure identification or solar weather Coronal Mass Ejection observation between the Sun and Earth..

In which with this mission experience there’s another sister on her way towards the moon in Change5 lunar Rover with a returnable sample launcher spacecraft module in which Change5 Lunar Rover Launch is expected to be launch by 2020.. in which it’ll Data procurement role will be more expansive than her current sister Change4, with more experiments installations onboard to study the Lunar landscape more closely..
