中国探月计划总设计师吴伟仁表示,“嫦娥四号”月球车大体保持了它的前任“玉兔号”的外形和条件。“玉兔号”是中国第一辆月球车,于2019年中国“嫦娥三号”探月计划实施时登月。
However, it also has adaptable parts and an adjustable payload configuration to deal with the complex terrain on the far side of the moon, the demand of relay communication, and the actual needs of the scientific objectives, according to space scientists.
当然,据太空科学家表示,“嫦娥四号”月球车也配置了适应性较强的部件和可调节的有效载荷,就是为了适应月球背面复杂的环境,同时满足中继通信和实际科学研究目标的要求。
