During the day and month of this month, the scientific load carried by the two devices will start up as planned, and scientific exploration work will continue. Based on the data of the stitched image of the panoramic camera LET01704 at the 17th day of the month, DOM image and other data, a small diameter of about 1.3 meters and a depth of not more than 20 centimeters was found at about 3 meters southwest of the current position of the "Yutu 2" lunar rover There are materials with high reflectivity in the center of the pit, small pit and southeast, which is obviously different from the brightness of the surrounding moon soil. This month will focus on using infrared imaging spectrometer to detect the pit. It is believed that the Chang'e-4 probe can live up to expectations, obtain more first-hand scientific data, and continue to contribute to the development of human lunar exploration and space science.
