Chang’e 4 continuously brings good news: Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics helps write a new chapter of Chinese lunar exploration
On the afternoon of January 11, under the support of the relay satellite “Magpie Bridge”, the mutual photographs between the Chang'e-4 lander and the Jade Rabbit-2 was smoothly completed, with all instruments operating normally. Clear and intact images, as well as the detection data, have been sent back to the earth. All the scientific payloads are in good conditions, ensuring that the relevant scientific experiments can be carried out successfully to achieve the goals of project. This event marks the full success of Chang'e-4 mission.
