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.

My estimate of the new position based on that new image. I still think only 1 or 2 drives per lunar day, but assuming it's the fault of Queqiao, not Yutu 2, we may see a change later this spring. Queqiao 2 is duu to launch on March 18th according to a recent report.
