China's Moon lander and rover for the Chang'e 4 lunar probe, which is expected to land on the far side of the Moon this year, was unveiled on 15 August.
Images displayed at 15 August's press conference showed the rover was a rectangular box with two foldable solar panels and six wheels. It is 1.5 meters long, 1 meter wide and 1.1 meters high. Wu Weiren, the Chief Designer of China's lunar probe programme, said the Chang'e 4 rover largely kept the shape and conditions of its predecessor, Yutu (Jade Rabbit), China's first lunar rover for the Chang'e 3 lunar probe in 2013.
