Why are their cameras malfunctioning, or are they simply broken?








They work quite well,




last nigh I downloaded the decend of the rover from the lander from youtu=


be.




If you go to youtube.com and type 'China moon lander' in the search windo=


w,




there are many videos already.




On top of that I can watch China via high quality satellite link,




I recorded the launch, and some footage of the lander, for my archive.




Several GB of video.




The cams are high resolution, and transmitted about 1 fps when the rover =


separated




from the lander.










Why are their gamma spectrometry instruments still not working?






??




This is a 3 month mission, leave it to the mission controllers what to do=


when.








What sort of lens optics and narrow bandpass filters do each of their ca=


mer=




as have to work with?








Why are those local X-ray and gamma radiation readings not being recorde=


d?






Do you have clue?




If you made some effort you can follow that mission hour by hour online.




Perhaps you just don't get it, but then eye-candy, artistic renderings and =


media hype is all that matters to those of your kind, with apparently no ac=


tual scientific substance whatsoever.




Well, you just confirmed you are an complete idiot.



*I* am the one who designed video cameras.

YOU are the one without a clue.

LOL, that's what you get for arguing with a self-proclaimed "expert" like Brad.
