Chang’e 3 Landing Site

Chang'e 3 Landing Site
Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains), December 14, 2013
China became the third nation to soft-land a robotic spacecraft on the Moon when Chang'e 3 landed just east of a small impact crater (right). The lander deployed a small rover named Yutu, or "Jade Rabbit" (left). It explored the immediate area for about two months, before a technical problem stopped Yutu in its tracks.
