As of 23rd November 2020 Monday, The CNSA –China National Space Administration Belt and Road Initiative CLEP- China Luna Exploration Program.. 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”.

#CNSA #ChinaNationalSpaceAdministration #国家航天局 |#BeltAndRoadinitiative #CLEPS #November2020 | #VonKarmanCrater #LunarMission #Change4 #Yutu2 making another Luna trekking 520 Meters more #LunaExploration Summary of 677-day scientific achievements milestone …..

As of 10 November 2020, The CNSA –China National Space Administration Belt and Road Initiative Lunar Mission CLEP 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 21-month scientific exploration on the back of the moon. They broke through 677 Earth  Days On the far back of the moon, the Chang’e 4 lander and the “Yutu 2” lunar rover ended their moon night dormancy at 3:12 on November 10 and 10:17 on November 9 respectively. They were awakened by light and ushered in the first 24 days. Up to now, Chang’e-4 has successfully operated for 677 Earth days.

Based on the data of the panoramic camera spliced images and DOM images of the detection point, the “Yutu-2” lunar rover will continue to drive northwest during the 24th day of the month, targeting the basalt direction or the impact crater area with high reflectivity. Near the noon of the moon, the “Yutu-2” lunar rover plans to take at least one panoramic camera ring shot, and the infrared imaging spectrometer, neutral atom detector, and lunar radar will carry out simultaneous detection.

  As the “Yutu-2” lunar rover continues to move northwest, scientists from the core team of Chang’e-4 use the first-hand data returned to continue to produce scientific results. The scientific team recently published an article in the SCI journal “Science China Information Sciences” and pointed out that the impact during the formation of the Antarctic-Aitken Basin is likely to penetrate the lunar crust and impact deep lunar material.

Since the remote sensing observation of the back of the moon by orbiting satellites, a large number of studies have revealed the existence of mafic anomalies at the bottom of the Antarctic-Aitken Basin, which also have different chemical properties compared to returned samples and lunar meteorites. Chang’e-4 probed the sputter layer at the bottom of the impact crater in the Antarctic-Aitken Basin and found that the characteristics of mafic minerals in this area are similar to remote sensing data.

Research data shows that the mafic minerals in the rocks and lunar soil in the Chang’e 4 landing area are dominated by clinopyroxene, which has the same composition as the rapidly cooling magma system. It is believed that the material in the landing zone of Chang’e 4 mainly comes from the recrystallization of the impact melt. The patrol and detection of “Yutu-2” in this area provided a scientific basis for in-depth understanding of the cause of the mafic anomaly at the bottom of the Antarctic-Aitken Basin….

在遥远的月球背面,嫦娥四号着陆器和“玉兔二号”月球车分别于11月10日3时12分和11月9日10时17分结束月夜休眠,受光照自主唤醒,迎来第24月昼。截至目前,嫦娥四号已顺利工作677个地球日。​

基于探测点全景相机拼接影像、DOM影像等数据情况,“玉兔二号”月球车将在第24月昼期间继续向西北方向行驶,目标为玄武岩方向或反射率较高的撞击坑区域。在接近月午时,“玉兔二号”月球车计划进行至少1次全景相机环拍,红外成像光谱仪、中性原子探测仪、测月雷达开展同步探测。

 随着“玉兔二号”月球车向西北方向不断前行,嫦娥四号核心团队科学家利用传回的第一手数据,持续产出科学成果。科学团队近期发表在SCI期刊《Science China Information Sciences》上的一篇文章中指出:南极艾特肯盆地形成时的撞击很可能穿透月壳,撞击出月球深部物质。

自轨道卫星实现对月球背面的遥感观测以来,大量研究揭示南极-艾特肯盆地底部存在镁铁质异常,相比返回样品以及月球陨石,也有着不同的化学特性。嫦娥四号通过对南极-艾特肯盆地撞击坑底部溅射物层的探测,发现该区域镁铁质矿物特征与遥感数据相似。

研究数据显示,嫦娥四号着陆区的石块及月壤中镁铁质矿物以单斜辉石为主,这种辉石成分与快速冷却的岩浆系统一致。研究认为嫦娥四号着陆区物质主要来自撞击熔融体的重结晶。“玉兔二号”在这一区域的巡视探测为深入认识南极-艾特肯盆地底部镁铁质异常区的成因提供了科学依据。​​​​
