Lunar regolith and substructure at Chang'E-4 landing site in South Pole-Aitken basin

Jinhai Zhang et al.

Summary: The lunar penetrating radar profiles taken by the lunar rover Yutu-2 revealed a three-unit substructure at the landing site in the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin, supporting the local stratigraphy and geological explanation. The surface materials at the Chang'E-4 landing site are dominated by ejecta from the Finsen crater, indicating that they represent the initial lunar deep interior materials rather than later erupted basalts.

Ejecta From the Orientale Basin at the Chang'E-4 Landing Site

Zhiyong Xiao et al.

Summary: Radar scans and orbital observations by the Yutu-2 rover have revealed post-mare deposits at the Chang'E-4 landing site, with ejecta potentially originating from the Finsen crater. There is debate over whether the Alder crater also contributes to these deposits, but the predicted thicknesses of ejecta from all potential source craters do not align adequately with observations.

Chronological sequence of Chang'E-4 landing zone within Von Karman crater

Yu Lu et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the geologic evolution of the landing zone by detailed crater size-frequency distribution measurements within the Von Karman crater and its surroundings. The chronological sequence established indicates a complex evolutionary history for the CE-4 landing zone.

Geochemistry of the Von Karman crater floor and thickness of the non-mare ejecta over the Chang'e-4 landing area

Dijun Guo et al.

Summary: China's Chang' e-4 mission successfully conducted the first lunar farside landing exploration in the Von Karmen crater region, revealing the geological characteristics and thickness of ejecta in the landing site. The ejecta at the landing site is approximately 40 meters thick, dominated by non-mare ejecta from nearby craters, providing valuable information for interpreting ongoing data and geological analysis of the region.

The lunar surface as a recorder of astrophysical processes

Ian A. Crawford et al.

Summary: The lunar surface has accumulated records of a wide range of astrophysical phenomena over billions of years, including particles from the Sun and cosmogenic nuclides produced by galactic cosmic rays. The Moon may also have accreted material from the local interstellar medium. Due to its relatively low geological activity, lack of atmosphere, and for much of its history, lack of a magnetic field, the lunar surface is ideally suited to collect these astronomical records.

Evaluating the Thickness and Stratigraphy of Ejecta Materials at the Chang'e-4 Landing Site

Luyuan Xu et al.

Summary: The landing site of China's Chang'e-4 probe on the lunar far side is located in the mare basalts at the bottom of the Von Karman crater. The interpretation of surface measurements was complicated by various issues, and a thorough examination of possible foreign materials showed that Finsen crater was the main source. The estimated total impact ejecta thickness at the landing site was found to be thinner than 30m, with Pike's model being the most consistent with observations from the Yutu-2 rover.

Intermittent volcanic activity detected in the Von Karman crater on the farside of the Moon

Yuefeng Yuan et al.

Summary: The subsurface structures of the Von Karman crater within the South Pole-Aitken basin on the farside of the Moon were examined using lunar penetrating radar data, revealing multiple periods of intermittent lava flows and impacting events, as well as evidence of relatively young volcanic activity. The mapped stratigraphy and chronology suggest a self-consistent history within the crater and potential connections to events on the lunar nearside.
