Yutu(Jade Rabbit) No. 2, pay attention to safety: there is a pit in front.

@django ....jonnyboy eccentricisms is fooling lot of the CPC-STRONK types here lol....lad making their wires crossed haha.

Aww, somebody wants to go the moon so bad. China goes to moon, you wanna go, China does HSR, you wanna do it. You know what is worse than a copycat, it's copying the copycat.

And failed at it repeatedly

Plants experim. can “Moon Micro Ecosphere” onboard Chang'e 4


And this micro-living circle is to let the light of the moon shine into the container through the fiber at the top of the container .....

isnt it the sunlight? or earth light? how can it be moon light on the moon?

isnt it the sunlight? or earth light? how can it be moon light on the moon?

google translation dude.
Sure it is sun light,all lights are originated from our Sun.

Should be translated as sunlight on the moon.
Well,I have not notice this prob when i am reading the chinese version.

One of the biggest jokes or stupide articles proposed by western media

Make me laugh for a while.

Chang'e-4 lunar mission: What's next for lunar rover Yutu-2?

After being dispatched from the lander, China's latest lunar rover Yutu-2, or Jade Rabit-2, is now rolling on the far side of the Moon.

What are the major highlights of the new rover? And what can we expect next?

After almost seven hours of operation, the new rover Yutu-2 has finally rolled down from the lander.

"What's next for the rover is to take a picture of the front side of the lander, after that, it will go to its planned area and start a series of scientific exploration projects in the Von Carmen crater," said Zhang Yuhua, deputy chief commander and designer for the Chang'e-4 lunar mission.

The Jade Rabbit-2 will survey the lunar terrain during the Moon's daytime which lasts until January 12. After that, a 14-day-long Moon night is expected to come.

As of 17:00 on January 4, the three five-meter antennas of the low-frequency radio spectrometer on the lander were deployed in place. The neutron and radiation dose detector was ready for testing in Germany. Images from the topography camera were successively transmitted back to the ground.

The perambulator and the relay star successfully established an independent data link, completed environmental perception and path planning, and walked on the lunar surface to point A as planned to carry out scientific exploration.

The Moon-measuring radar and panoramic camera have been turned on and are working normally. Other payloads will also be switched on.

The latest data show the current temperatures during the Moon's daytime can reach as high as over 107 degrees Celsius, while at night, some experts estimate temperatures will drop to 180 degrees Celsius below freezing, according to Zhang.

According to scientists, the lander and rover will enter a rest mode due to the high temperature.

"While during the Moon's night time, the rover will enter a dormant state, it will store away its solar panels, just like sleeping and being covered with a quilt," said Zhang.

Experts say the Yutu-2 faces more challenges than the Yutu, as its landing area, the Aitken Basin, is the largest, deepest and oldest crater in the solar system. /CGTN Photo

Jia Yang, the deputy designer of the rover system for the Chang'e-4 lunar mission, told CGTN that one of the major challenges for the rover is the natural environment on the far side of the Moon. Rocks, craters and soft lunar soil are major obstacles in conducting further exploration.

The outlook for the Chang'e-4 rover is very similar to its previous model, the Jade Rabbit. But scientists say they have updated many of its materials and technologies so that it can withstand the extreme weather and other challenging conditions on the Moon.

The relay satellite Queqiao will continue to play a key role in communicating between the rover and ground control on the Earth. /CGTN Photo

When it comes to the communication bridge, the relay satellite Queqiaoits, its chief designer Zhang Lihua explained that the satellite will continue to provide long-term and stable communication services to ensure that the Jade Rabbit-2 is in stable condition, and also to serve other global lunar spacecraft.

Scientists hope the Yutu-2 will have a more stable and long journey. /CGTN Photo

The Yutu or Jade Rabbit is a symbol of kindness, purity, and agility in Chinese culture. Although the Jade Rabbit-2 is also designed to work for three months, scientists hope it can complete its exploration and have a more stable and long journey.

Guys could you from now on only post actual photos of the moon taken by the new lander and rover. Let's not confuse by posting photos of earth based testing.

今天又往前走了点。#嫦娥四号任务#

在月球上行走比在地球上困难得多，除了崎岖不平的石块和撞击坑，低重力和松软土壤也容易让我打滑。

我在坑前面停下来了，绕开还是进去看看，还得等师父们@中国探月工程 的指令。

其实这个坑很小，它只是个无名之辈，月球上直径超过10公里的坑就有上万个，我所在的冯·卡门撞击坑，直径更是达到了185公里。

我的任务就是去探索这片陨坑遍布的土地，要开工了，来听首歌吧， Dark Side Of The Moon-Pink Floyd 。我喜欢里面的歌词：

Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one

Today I went a little further. #嫦娥四号任务#

Walking on the moon is much more difficult than on Earth. In addition to rugged stones and craters, low gravity and soft soil can easily make me skip.

I stopped in front of the crater, whether to go around or go in and look, I have to wait for the instructions from the masters. @CLEP

In fact, this crater is very small. It is just a nameless pit. There are tens of thousands of crater with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers on the moon. The von Carmen crater where I am located has a diameter of 185 kilometers.

My task is to explore this land that is full of craters, time to start working, lets listen to a song, Dark Side Of The Moon-Pink Floyd. I like this part of the lyrics:

Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one​

China is not copycat,just a little bit late coz of chaos period,you guys still use papers Chineses invented 2000 years ago.

And the best paper with the highest quality is made by Chinese in My hometown Anhui called Xuanzhi,Xuan paper or
Shuen paper or rice paper

Photo provided by the China National Space Administration on Jan. 4, 2019 shows image of Yutu-2, China's lunar rover, at preset location A on the surface of the far side of the moon.

MOSCOW, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- The head of the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, Thursday congratulated the Chinese colleagues on the successful landing of the Chang'e-4 probe.

"On behalf of Roscosmos State Corporation and on my own behalf, I want to congratulate you and the entire team of the China National Space Administration (CNSA) on the successful launch of the Chang'e-4 mission - the first soft landing on the far side of the moon in the history of mankind," Rogozin said in a letter of congratulation published at Roscosmos's website.

He noted that Russia and China cooperate fruitfully in the field of space activities.

"We are pleased that the power equipment of the Chang'e-4 mission is supplied by radioisotope sources of electricity produced in Russia," he said.

"I am confident that in the future we will have many more opportunities for effective cooperation for the benefit of our countries," Rogozin added.

At the end of the letter, Rogozin expressed his wishes that there would be more new creative successes and interesting projects in the field of space activities for peaceful purposes.

China's Chang'e-4 probe touched down on the far side of the moon Thursday, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon's uncharted side never visible from Earth.
