Area around lander enlarged by a factor of two relative to the native pixel scale (see zoomify below), bright speck between two arrows is the lander. The large crater in the center (just right and below arrows) is about 440 meters (1440 feet) across.

Chang'e 4

Chang'e 4 lander (near tip of left arrow) and rover (near tip of right arrow) nestled among craters on the floor of Von Kármán crater. Image is 1700 meters (5580 feet) wide across the center, LROC NAC M1303570617 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Following the Chang'e 4 descent frames (CNSA/CLEP) to the surface makes it easy to find the exact landing spot in a NAC image, which was taken before the landing. Note that the NAC image is rotated so north is down to match the Chang'e 4 frames.

Full resolution crop centered on Chang'e 4 lander, bright speck between two arrows is the lander. The large crater in the center (just right and below arrows) is about 440 meters (1440 feet) across.

The Chang'e 4 rover is now visible to LROC! Just beyond the tip of the right arrow is the rover and the lander is to the right of the tip of the left arrow. The image appears blocky because it is enlarged 4x to make it easier to see the two vehicles.

The Chang'e 4 spacecraft set down between the two arrows at 45.457°S, 177.589°E, plus or minus 20 meters.
