More than One year ago on 24th November 2020, the Chang Zheng – Long March Five Carrier Rocket Launched away in CNSA – China National Space Administration China Wenchang spaceport launch, Change Five Lunar probe into orbit, opened up towards China – People’s Republic of China’s first celestial bodies sample return trip from Mons Rumker on the Lunar Surface.……
As of Month of January 2022, The CNSA –China National Space AdministrationCLEP- China Lunar Exploration Program Belt and Road Initiative Lunar Mission……Chang’e-4 with Yutu two the Lunar rover still working exploring more than 1003.9 meters on the other side of the moon on the 103 Kilometers Diameter Von Karman Crater in which is least than two length by length fifty five Kilometers Hong Kong –Macau- Zhuhai Bridges …. Working Exploring the Crater on the other side of the Moon Chang’e Luna….
On the 19th February 2022 week Hong Kong SAR – Beijing Time CNSA CLEP – China National Space Administration –China Lunar Space Program has released the 23rd batch of scientific data released by Chang’e-4 this month’s data came relatively late, but the content is very rich. More than 240 photos include more than 30 color photos. The data collection time announced this time is during the day of the 27th month (2021.02.04~2021.02.19).
is in the last month day In , experts analysed a “milestone” shaped stone, which, in fact, wasn’t the only similarly shaped stone nearby. Just south of the “milestone”, there is another similar stone, which the driving team calls a “stalagmite”, the relationship between the two is marked in Figure 1 (map from Chapter 27 of the Driving Diary). The focus of this moon and day detection is on this “stalagmite”, and the specific process is full of twists and turns. It is recommended that you read the original text of “Driving Diary”. Data source: Lunar and Planetary Data Release System
At 4:32 on February 6 2022 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time, Yutu-2 successfully woke up and entered the 27th lunar day, during which it spent its third Spring Festival on the moon.
Last month, we detected the “milestone” rock. Once the news came out, it attracted the attention of scientists all over the world. Dan Moriarty, a researcher at NASA, said: “This rock sample has Similar to the shape of a shark fin, it’s definitely unusual. ” He said that both the shape of the shark fin, and the apparent bulge near the edge of the rock, indicate a very young geological age and a relatively short existence at the site where it was found. Clive Neal, a famous lunar expert at the University of Notre Dame in the United States, also expressed his views on the rocks. While the “milestone” has attracted the attention of the international aerospace science community, Chinese scientists are gradually unravelling the mystery of its identity.
Strange discoveries always come in pairs. Last month, the pilots found a “stalagmite” shaped stone standing in the south direction, similar to the “milestone” shape. The two echoed each other. Everyone decided to act immediately and explore again. “Stalagmite”.
The rhythm of the whole moon, day and morning was tight and orderly. After three moves, Yutu No. 2 arrived near the “stalagmite” before noon on the moon. At this time, the shadow of the car body blocked the target, and it seemed to persuade Yutu to take a nap and explore the “stalagmite” again. , we had to wait for the Yutu to wake up from the lunch break to continue the probe.
Under the scorching sun, Jade Rabbit spent its Spring Festival, and before the fifth day of the first lunar month, it started work early in the day and afternoon. The pilots controlled Yutu-2 to turn to the intended detection heading. According to the previous ground planning path deduction, the road detected at this time is flat, and the bright surface of the “stalagmite” should be able to enter the infrared field of view. However, the obstacle-avoidance images downloaded to the ground are full of artistic “alternation of light and dark”, which is different from the “simple and straightforward” that scientists hoped to be completely illuminated by sunlight.
There are so many exciting moments in lunar exploration. It is within reach, but it seems to be so far away. However, the pilots have been very patient in the long-term detection, and proposed three detection plans for the current situation: go straight ahead, detour to the southwest side of the “stalagmite”, and detour to the southeast to wait for next month’s detection.
Here are a few photos synthesized from the original images: Figure 2: Color photos of the “Milestone” taken from a distance Figures 3 and 4: The lunar image taken by Yutu-2 to the “Stalagmite” (you find the Chang’e-4’s photo) Is the lander yet?) Figure 5: A close-up photo of the “stalagmite”
After repeated deductions and demonstrations, the last plan was not very feasible and was first excluded, and the remaining two plans entered the final PK. Drivers detour from the west side and the southeast side to verify the feasibility of the second option. Detouring from the southeast, there are many potholes along the way. After starting, Yutu No. 2 will step into the pit, which is more dangerous; while the west side seems to be flat along the way, but there is a large impact crater near the end position. Yutu No. 2 The No. 1 can only move around in a small area between the impact crater and the “stalagmite”. Not only is its range of activity severely limited, which may cause the solar wings to be blocked, but it must also return to the original path after detection, which is laborious and dangerous. After several rounds of calculation and demonstration, direct detection wins.
The pilots controlled the Yutu for the first attempt. The preliminary results show that the actual infrared field of view is about 4 cm away from the ideal field of view. The second time, everyone adjusted according to the suggestions of the scientists and tried again, but the results were still biased. The two failed attempts, and the time was approaching zero, and the station resources were almost exhausted. Facing the temptation of the mystery behind the moon, the pilots were still reluctant to give up and decided to try again. They urgently extended the measurement and control arc for an hour, adjusted the posture of the jade rabbit and probed again. With all the hard work, the images uploaded this time show that the infrared field of view finally accurately covers the narrow light of the “stalagmite” !
Those who travel a hundred miles are half and ninety. When it is unknown whether success or failure will come next time, persevering may be our only chance. This time Yutu No.2 and the pilots did it! Next time, would you like to challenge and persevere for your dreams?

The video is a video of the Mars group photo taken by the probe.
The video was shot by the “selfie” camera carried by the Tianwen-1 surround. The camera is installed at the end of the “selfie stick”. This selfie tool is designed to monitor and evaluate the status of key components outside the surround. In the video The orbiter’s 3000N engine, propellant storage tank, attitude control engine and other components are in good condition. The five-star red flag shining in the Mars orbit is particularly bright. During the attitude adjustment process, the angle of the sun’s illumination changes significantly. When flying over the north pole of Mars, the ice cap below was photographed. The “selfie stick” uses a special shape memory composite material, which is folded and folded before launch. After entering the orbit of Mars, the folded part is heated to a certain temperature, and the “selfie stick” gradually returns to a straight state. The “selfie stick” weighs only 0.8 kilograms and is 1.6 meters long when unfolded. The camera installed at the end can effectively complete various monitoring tasks.
As of January 31, 2022, Tianwen-1 has been in orbit for 557 days, about 325 million kilometers away from the earth, and the light travel time is about 18 minutes. The Zhurong rover has worked for 255 Martian days and travelled a total of 1524 meters. At present, the Tianwen-1 mission has returned a total of about 600GB of original scientific data, and the two devices are in good condition and operating normally
