Chapter 165: Two Devices Hit Each Other_1

Speaking of the deep space detection network, the Moon naturally constitutes a part of it.

Currently, the Magpie Bridge relay satellite in Moon orbit and the landers on the lunar surface can both be considered detection nodes.

Since its descent on the Moon's surface on May 11, the Explorer robot has already carried out extensive exploration.

Thanks to the large size and strong transmission capability of the Magpie Bridge relay satellite, the landing process that day was live-streamed. Although it was a 720P video, the high bit-rate ensured a clear and smooth picture.

If it had been the originally designed Magpie Bridge, the insufficient bandwidth might have caused the video to be extremely blurry and choppy in order to leave enough bandwidth for the operators' communication channel.

Even though there had been the Chang'e 3 mission landing before, Chang'e 4 still received a lot of attention because everyone was interested in the uniquely styled lunar rover: Explorer Big Spider.
