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.

​​“嫦娥”联袂“天问”，致以“三八”妇女节问候
​阳春三月，一元复始。今年的“两会”正在描绘新时代、新阶段发展的宏伟蓝图，今天我们迎来“国际三八妇女节”，在月亮之上和火星上空，“嫦娥”联袂“天问”，向撑起“半边天”的妇女同志致以诚挚的节日问候。

同样在今天，嫦娥四号着陆器和“玉兔二号”月球车完成唤醒设置，迎来了第28月昼。截至今天，嫦娥四号已在月球背面顺利工作795个地球日。

如图1所示，目前，月球车位于嫦娥四号着陆点西北方向，距离着陆点直线距离约429米。在第28月昼期间，月球车计划向玄武岩方向（距离目前巡视器约1.2km，位于东经177.5389°，南纬45.4119°附近）前进，该位置位于当前探测点西北方向上。

（1）全景相机至少环拍探测1次，预计接近月午探测；

（2）红外成像光谱仪至少探测2次、1次定标；

（3）在红外成像光谱仪开展探测的同时，同步开展中性原子探测仪的探测；

（4）行驶过程中测月雷达同步探测。

近期，天问一号在火星环绕轨道拍摄了火星的全色图像和彩色图像，其中，中分辨率相机采用“凝视”模式拍摄的彩色图像，火星北极极冠清晰可见。目前，天问一号正在对预选着陆区进行详勘，为着陆火星表面做准备。

天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿 …….As of the afternoon Chinese Lunar New Year festival week holidays ending …. 4th March 2021, CNSA – China National Space Administration- ESA – European Space agency Belt and road initiative mars mission…first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen- Martian Probe One released three high-definition Mars image maps taken by China – People’s Republic of China first Mars exploration mission Tianwen-1 probe, including two full-color images and one color image……

The panchromatic image was taken by a high-resolution camera at an altitude of about 330 kilometers to 350 kilometers from the surface of Mars, with a resolution of about 0.7 meters. In the imaging area, small ring craters, ridges, sand dunes and other landforms on the surface of Mars are clearly visible. The diameter of the largest impact crater is about 620 meters. The color image was taken by a medium-resolution camera, and the picture shows the north pole of Mars.

Starting on February 26 2021, Tianwen-1 has carried out scientific exploration in the parked orbit, and scientific payloads such as the orbiter high-resolution camera, medium-resolution camera, and mineral spectrometer have been turned on one after another to obtain scientific data. The high-resolution camera on the orbiter is equipped with two imaging detectors, which can realize linear array push-broom and area array imaging, and carry out fine observation of topography and landforms in key areas. The medium-resolution camera has the functions of automatic exposure and remote control of exposure adjustment, and can draw global remote sensing image maps of Mars to detect the topography and changes of Mars Tianwen No.1 probe shoots high-definition Mars image…..

Black-and-white or color photos are related to the shooting mode. The high-resolution camera photos are taken by the linear array push sweep method when the detector is running on a large elliptical orbit. They are divided into full color, color, and custom. The full-color (i.e. black and white) image is the clearest, the data volume is the largest, and the scientific value is the highest. The definition of a color image is a quarter of that of a full-color image. After the image fusion processing of panchromatic and color mode, a clear and beautiful color image will be obtained. The medium-resolution camera has only one static shooting mode, which is to use the “gaze” shooting mode, so that the camera has been “gazing” at a certain area, and the overall resolution will be relatively low.

Mars moored orbit on the day. The probe will run on the berth orbit for about three months, and all seven orbiter loads will be turned on and scientific exploration will begin. At the same time, the medium-resolution cameras, high-resolution cameras, and spectrometers in the payload will conduct detailed investigations of the topography, landforms, sand and dust weather in the pre-selected landing area, and prepare for landing on Mars.

Since its successful launch on July 23, 2020, the Tianwen-1 probe has been in orbit for 215 days and is currently 212 million kilometers away from the earth. On February 10, 2021, the probe entered the ring fire orbit, implemented the far-fire point orbit plane maneuver on February 15, and implemented the second near-fire brake on February 20. The current equipment is in normal state and various flight controls Work is proceedingly normally.
