3 Lunar Orbits: space : space science and technology
At 5 cm ground resolution, China’s Zhurong lunar orbiter delivers infrared images sharp enough to spot 5-metre near-Earth objects within hours, while NASA’s Athena X-ray telescope focuses on high-energy astrophysics. This dual capability marks a shift toward integrated lunar-orbit surveillance and deep-space science. space : space science and technology
