Rover success opens command center
Print Edition
China’s first center designed for teleoperation, or operation from a distance, of deep space missions was formally opened at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center following its successful trial use on the country’s first moon rover early yesterday.
Yutu, or Jade Rabbit, separated from the lander at 4:35am yesterday, several hours after the Chang’e-3 probe had made a soft landing on the lunar surface.
At the center, up to 40 technicians can fully control and monitor the working conditions of the rover and lander. “A three-dimensional technique was used in order to more clearly know the working conditions of the moon rover,” said Zhou Jianliang, chief engineer of the BACC.
Chang’e-3’s landing came 12 days after the probe blasted off on a Long March-3B carrier rocket from southwest China.
Zhou said commands for future deep space exploration will be issued from the center.
