摘要

The 25-meter Dwingeloo Radio Telescope in the Netherlands has received photos of the far side of the moon, transmitted by the Chinese Longjiang-2 lunar satellite (DSLWP-B), Lunar-OSCAR 94 (LO-94).The Dwingeloo Radio Telescope had been restored by the C.A. Muller Radio Astronomy Station, PI9CAM (CAMRAS). One especially dramatic image shows the far side of the moon with Earth in the background, taken by the Longjiang-2 satellite and transmitted by an onboard Amateur Radio transceiver.
