I am setting this up to record activities of Yutu 2, but it looks as if this will be difficult unless we start to see more data releases. As soon as LRO images the lander (and the image is released) I can put a rough background on the map. When descent images of the actual site are released thay can be improved on. Until then this will be very simple.
Let me know if you see any signs of maps or feature names, including in the background of a TV broadcast or on a forum. Meanwhile, a first contribution. So simple it's almost not necessary, but you have to start somewhere. So rough I am not including a scale yet. I welcome anyone else's maps as well.

Andrew Jones has tweeted ( I can't say 'Xed') new Yutu 2 images from Seger Yu:
https://twitter.com/AJ_FI/status/1698603095289221546 (follow the link for more images) They allow a map update because the craters can be identified in LRO images and the tracks interpolated. Slow progress - suggesting either focussed science work in this area, or perhaps reduced communication opportunities via the aging Queqiao relay satellite. So here is a Yutu 2 map update for June 2023: Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
