Chang'e 4 Rover Comes into View

08 Feb 2019

4x enlargement, Chang'e 4 lander and rover — The Chang'e 4 rover is now visible to LROC! Just beyond the tip of the right arrow is the rover and the lander is to the right of the tip of the left arrow. The image appears blocky because it is enlarged 4x to make it easier to see the two vehicles. North is to the upper right, LROC NAC M1303570617LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

First Look: Chang'e 4

East to west limb view of Von Kármán crater — Arrows indicate position of Chang'e 4 lander on the floor of Von Kármán crater. The sharp crater behind and to the left of the landing site is 3900 meters across (12,800 feet) and 600 meters (1970 feet) deep. Image was shrunk by more than a factor of ten (full resolution available inside the post). LROC NAC M1303521387LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
