Yutu Route Map Options

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.

Since it took me a while to dig it up, I'll post in here a link to Mark Robinson's LPSC abstract on LROC imaging of the Chang'e 3 landing site, and a clip of the table of information on planned images:

Table 1. Summary of LROC NAC images and pixel coordinates of Chang'e 3 lander, entries in italics acquired after
landing. Future imaging opportunities occur 2014-01-22, 2014-02-19, 2014-03-19. Negative incidence angle indicates
Sun from the west.
