a Geological context of the CE-6 landing region within the Apollo basin. The base map is CE-2 DOM data (Image ID: I2-01~I2-07, J1-01~J1-06, J1-40, J2-01~J2-06, J2-40, K1-01~K1-06, K1-36). b High-resolution DEM of the CE-6 landing region, observed by the CE-6 landing camera (Image ID: CE6_LCAM_DEM_0.01m_LANDINGSITE_A). The white dashed lines show five local impact craters (C1-C5). The lander, which is marked by the red cross, is located on the rim of crater C1. b High-resolution image of the CE-6 landing region, observed by the landing camera. The red cross marks the location of the CE-6 lander. The line AB is connecting the center of crater C1 and the CE-6 lander. c Elevation profile along the AB line. The red cross denotes the centroid position of the lander, while the red dot marks the floor of crater C1. d Illustration of the drilling device and LRPR onboard CE-6 lander. The star marks the sampling spot. The LRPR antennas are painted in red and positioned on both sides of the drill. e High-resolution image of the CE-6 landing region, observed by the landing camera. The red cross marks the center of mass of the CE-6 lander, the bright blue line represents the coverage area of the 12 LRPR antennas (1.56 m long), and the red star indicates the drill-sampling spot.
