First route map! I will keep it going, mostly on LROC images, as I need it for a future project. I am still working on an accurate scale.

Thanks, Thorsten and Phil,
I watched a lot of CNTV live stream after the deployment of Yutu, and in one of the interviews an engineer showed a map of the early stages of the Rover's intended route. It showed a curved route going down the east side of the lander, which was said to be in order to photograph the sunlit side of the Lander (which makes sense). It then came in behind the south side of the Lander (I think they said to photograph the Chinese flag on the Lander ), and made a short move directly further south. There were 3 or 4 stops marked with blobs, indicating mutual photo stops. Unfortunately this was up too fast for me to get a screen grab. I have searched the several clips from that coverage here and elsewhere, but that part does not appear to be one that was clipped and posted for later re-play. China TV English Chang'e Report |
