China Unveils High Resolution Pictures of Moon Surface

A group of complete high-resolution full-color map of the moon taken by China's Chang'e-3 moon lander and the Yutu moon rover have been unveiled recently. China's lunar probe Chang'e-3, with the country's first moon rover onboard, successfully landed on the moon on December 14, 2013, marking China's first successful soft-landing on the surface of an extraterrestrial body. Chang'e-3 includes a lander and a moon rover called "Yutu" (Jade Rabbit), whose tasks include surveying the moon's geological structure and surface substances and looking for natural resources. They took a large number of pictures which reveal a wealth of details about the lunar surface. "The landing of Chang-e 3 is the world's first inspection and exploration on the surface of the moon through a soft landing since the Apollo moon landing. Apart from landing, we also had a lunar rover which carried out inspection and exploration on the moon surface. So the pictures obtained are the most delicate after the Apollo landing," Zheng Yongchun, an associate research fellow of the National Astronomical Observatory. The unveiled pictures, with a total size of 35 GBs, have showcased abundant details about the moon, providing a large amount of scientific information for scientists. "This picture of lunar vehicle was taken by the camera on the lander. We can learn the maximum load the surface can support without causing rover to sink by examining the wheel track of rover and how deep the lander's feet are buried. Besides, we can deduce many physics properties of soil including density and carrying capacity," said Zheng. In addition, wheel tracks, a number of impact craters and rocks can be clearly seen on the pictures. They usually remain intact without natural erosion, added Zheng.
