A topographic view of the region surrounding the Chang'e 3 landing site (white arrow) from LROC NAC stereo images, where lows are purple and highs are white.

Boxes indicate locations of Chang'e-3 descent images. The spacecraft is probably in, or very near, the smallest box. Image is 4700 meters wide, north is up, NAC M181302794L [NASA/GSFC/ASU/JHUAPL].

Four LROC NAC views of the Chang'e 3 landing site: A) before landing, 30 June 2013, B) after landing, 25 December 2013, C) 21 January 2014, D) 17 February 2014. Each image is enlarged by a factor of two, width of each is 200 meters (656 feet).

LROC February 2014 image of Chang'e 3 site. Blue arrow indicates Chang'e 3 lander, yellow arrow points to Yutu (rover), and white arrow marks the December location of Yutu.

LROC image (acquired 15 July 2009) centered on area seen in descent images acquired by Chang'e-3 as it descended to the surface of Mare Imbrium. Image width 1700 meters, north is up, M102285549 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

LRO Above the Landing Site of Chang'e 4 01

LRO slewed 54° to the East on 16 February to allow LROC to snap a dramatic oblique view of the Chang'e 3 site (arrow).

Location of the Chang'e-3 landing site

Sinus Iridum, Chang'e 3 & Lunokhod 1 landing sites

Slope map overlain on an LROC NAC image of the Chang'e 3 landing site at 44.12°N, 340.49°E in Mare Imbrium. The Chinese spacecraft landed just to the east of the large crater near the center.

Sun angle profoundly affects the surface features of the Chang'e 3 landing site. When the Sun is higher in the sky (low incidence angle), the tracks left by the Yutu rover and the bright blast zone around the lander are most visible.

View of the Chang'e-3 landing site from the LROC NAC. The region around the lander was brightened from the interaction of rocket exhaust with the regolith. Scene is approximately 240 m across, located at 44.121°N, 340.488°E. NAC image M1147290066R.
