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=

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=

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.

*I* am the one who designed video cameras.

YOU are the one without a clue.
