I thought it was time to split the subject from the Moon forum.
Admins, can you move the relevant messages here? anyway, just out: an interesting blog article by Bill Gray explaining how he recovered the probe and how he computed the orbit yielding the 13 December flyby date Chang'e 2: The Full Story |

Deep Space took images of Braille with resolution around 180 m/pix. Braille is two times smaller than Toutatis. So with some luck, we can expect images four times better than those of asteroid Braille (4× more pixels across diameter of asteroid).
This is what we can expect, if everything goes well and image will be taken close to 1000 km flyby distance.
