The landing site of the Chang’e-3 mission and the traverse route of the Yutu rover. a Geological context of the landing site. The landing site (white star) is located on the rim of the ~ 450 m diameter Ziwei crater. The base image is obtained by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbit (M102285549LE+RE; 1.66 m/pixel). b Image acquired by the descent camera (image ID: CE3_BMYK_LCAM-3006) on the Chang’e-3 lander shows numerous small craters within the landing site. The landing site is marked by the white star and the white line is the route of the Yutu rover. c Traverse route and speed of the Yutu rover from the navigation points N101 to N208 (black dots). The color bar is for the moving speed of the rover. Navigation points that are started with ‘1’ represent the first lunar day, and ‘2’ represents the second lunar day. The white star represents the position of lander
