2018 "Add luster to the discipline" outstandingcases (in no particular order)
Case 1:Opticalcamera applied to Chang ’e-4 has been successfully developed
In May 2018, the observation camera system for Chang 'e-4 relaysatellite was successfully developed by the team from Institute of Optical ImagingEngineering of COSE and launched along with the Chang 'e-4 relay satellite. Afterentering the preset orbit, the observation camera successfully acquired thehigh gain parabolic antenna image and completed the antenna surveillance task. Thedual-resolution camera captured the group photos of the earth and moon and separateclose-up images of the earth and the moon. This is the first time thatscientists get photos from the vicinity of L2 on the Earth-Moon Triangle Lagrangepoints in human history. In December 2018, the landing camera system designedand developed by the same team was launched with the Chang 'e-4 probe. OnJanuary 3, 2019, Chang 'e-4 successfully became the first probe in humanhistory that achieved soft landing on the far side of the moon. And the landingcamera also worked well with excellent imaging quality. The camera successfullyacquired the video of the whole landing process, making an importantcontribution to the successful completion of the first soft landing mission onthe far side of the moon.
