The two pioneers of Yuebei pioneered the wild cold and trudged in spring and autumn. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Chang'e 4 lander "Yutu 2" lunar rover was awakened by light and started work on the 14th day of the day. This industrious "rabbit" will join hands with the lander and work on the moon to spend the Spring Festival again with everyone.

Chang'e 4 lander and "Yutu 2" lunar rover successfully awakened autonomously at 22 o'clock on January 18 and 17:55 on the 19th, respectively. The telemetry signal is normal, the energy balance is normal, and the scientific load is turned on normally. Lunar science continues Probe activity. The latest scientific results and scientific discoveries will be released in time.

Saying goodbye to 2019, China's lunar exploration and deep space exploration cause fruitful results. Chang'e-4 shined on the moon's back, and the results of in-situ detection and patrol detection have been fruitful, and it has become the longest working time detector on the moon in human history. The Long March 5 was reborn and the go-around mission was successfully completed. A solid foundation has been laid for space exploration activities and for going further into deep space.

The spirit shines, and the future continues. Following this, Chinese astronauts will continue to uphold the "two bombs and one star" spirit, the manned spaceflight spirit, and the spirit of "chasing dreams, courage to explore, collaborate to overcome difficulties, and win-win cooperation" to trace the grand blueprint for the development of China's space industry and climb the space. Explore the scientific peak of innovation, submit satisfactory answers to people across the country, and make contributions to the construction of a community of shared future for mankind.
