Welcome to China

During China’s first lunar mission, the cameras aboard Chang’e-1 captured lunar images with a resolution of 120 meters. Chang’e-2, with improved cameras on board, will take photographs with a resolution of 10 meters.

“Photos taken 15 km from the moon’s surface can be very clear with a resolution of 1 meter,” Wu Weiren, chief designer of China’s lunar probe program, said in an interview with China Central Television on Tuesday.
