China's first lunar exploration project of the first moon image imaging height in 200 kilometers, like yuan resolution of 120 meters, the imaging area is located in east longitude 83 degrees to the lunar surface to 57 degrees east longitude 70 degrees south latitude to (54 degrees, about 280 km in length, about 460 kilometers long. Is mainly composed of anorthosite, distribution of different size, shape, structure and form s crater, upper basalt covered dark area. It is estimated that a picture of an area of more than 13 square kilometers, nearly 8 in Beijing, accounts for about 0.3% of the surface of the moon.

China's first lunar exploration project full three-dimensional digital terrain map the moon 28 through expert review. This is the international highest precision three-dimensional digital topographic map of the moon.

Academician of the Chinese academy of surveying and mapping science xian-lin liu as leader of the review panel, said the full three-dimensional digital terrain map the moon is on the cover of full moon, plane and vertical resolution is the highest, the data precision of 3 d terrain data, the moon will greatly promote the lunar surface morphology characteristics, and the cause of research, to promote the moon set structure and division of science, deepen the understanding of the moon's geology and evolution history, and for subsequent scientific goal of moon exploration project design, the payload configuration, key technical requirement and engineering guarantee conditions such as important basis.

China's first lunar probe satellite chang e one launched in October 24, 2007, the goddess of the moon on board of a number of three linear CCD camera is a camera, can obtain the same object on the surface of the moon in 85 seconds ago, face up to and after the three different perspectives of image data, and on this basis can obtain three-dimensional terrain data of the moon.

According to introduction, China's first lunar exploration project three-dimensional digital topographic map of the moon, is composed of CCD stereo camera to obtain image data, the three linear array produced by digital photogrammetric processing. Topographic map using all the ends of the earth axis coordinate system and elevation datum USES the surface of the moon is a sphere with a radius of 1737.4 km, the spatial resolution of 500 meters, the plane error 192 meters, error 120 meters in elevation.
