Yutu-2 studies the Moon South Pole-Aitken basin
Based on the data collected by Yutu-2, the Chang’e-4 mission’s rover, researchers propose new hypothesis on the formation of the South Pole-Aitken basin on the Moon. The Chang'e-4 lander and the Yutu-2 rover have been switched to dormant mode on 5 July 2022, for the duration of the lunar night (14 days on Earth).
