Hong Kong’s technology research and development made significant contributions to the nation’s Chang'e-4 lunar exploration. An advanced Camera Pointing System (CPS) and an innovative lunar topographic mapping and geomorphological analysis technique developed by Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) supported the Chang'e-4 probe to achieve the world’s first landing on the far side of the moon and send back the first-ever close-up picture of it.
