Moon photos shot by Chang'e-1
On December 10, 2007, Chinanews.cn reported that the China National Space Administration (CNSA) published four series of moon pictures and some data sent by the China’s first lunar orbiter called Chang'e-1 according to the spokesman for CNSA, Pei Zhaoyu. The CNSA released the first picture of the moon captured by Chang'e-1 on Nov. 26, 2007, marking the full success of its lunar probe project. All the instruments fitted to the Chang'e-1 are functioning well, and some scientific progress has already been made based on the data collected by Chang'e-1, said Pei. Scientific researchers are processing the data taken by the CCD camera fitted to the Chang'e-1, and have produced diagrams, three-dimensional maps and elevation maps of some regions on the moon.
