The “photographer” behind the historic image of the Chang’e-6 mission’s lander and the Chinese national flag on the surface of the moon’s far side was a 5kg (11lb) mini-rover using artificial intelligence software.
The state-owned China Space Daily said the four-wheeled rover was released from the side of the lander after sample collection was completed on Monday. It moved autonomously across the lunar surface to find the “best” angle for the picture.
