Oh. I wonder how it unfolds

Maybe make a launch vessel mesh and press a key and then the unfolded dish appears?

But it looks like we need another rocket as the Queqiao launched on a LongMarch 4C in MAy

The satellite will require navigation and the use of Lagrange MFD.

And yes, a new rocket...


Perhaps you can just do the lander + rover and have the satellite already in place ?

Another Long March rocket would be useful. IDK if the Longjiangs are attached to the stage or the Queqiao satellite?

They were launched with the Queqiao


So using GV I got this:

I haven't figured out the shape of the lander.

The chang'e 4's Rover will be lifted up by the Lander elevator's itself then the lander deploys the ramp, the rover will drive onto the ramp, the ramp will elevate down touching the lunar surface allowing the Rover to drive off the Ramp onto the lunar surface.

here's a video of it in action Taken by the Camera on-board Chang'e 3 Lander

Thanks. Yes I saw that. Animating that might be a chore.

So this is what I have now. :

Thanks. I will fix that. Well For testing on the rover I am going to use GV and have the body as a separate module.

So here is the rover:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=11SQsSXEnJrcrqpuo34qJU_Ya0B4pKEel

It uses GV (General Vehicle)
when focused on the rover keys are 1-antenna,2 raises the head, g solar panel deploy, 5/6 rotates the head


For some reason the steering seems TOO fast.

appears But the Problem is i know that it's steers way to fast but the rover itself appears to move sideways when i move forward and backward

and also The Arm of the Chang'e 4 Rover is needed

There is an arm? Any images of it?

I did notice the sideways steering.

It is GV so you can edit the cfg in notepad.

It needs lights also.

I am planning to have the camera follow the mast movement

Thanks. So make the mast silver or dk gray and have those red camera lens? So the head at the top rotates down.

So I think a panel will need to be built to deal all the animations.
so like this:

Where did you get the image with the lander.
