The first picture of the moon captured by China’s first lunar orbiter, Chang’e-l, is expected to be ready for publication within three days, the country’s space administration said on Friday.

Data of the original picture taken by the satellite has now been transmitted back to Earth, the China National Space Administration(CNSA)said.

On Tuesday, the stereo camera aboard Chang’e-l was put into operation and afterward, the satellite sent back its first batch of data for the moon picture.

“The data is currently being processed and analyzed to produce the first real picture of the moon,” said a CNSA official. “The picture would need official assessment before it could be published in accordance with international practice.”

The image’s processing and production would take two to three days, the official said, adding that the camera could cover the whole moon surface within a month.

By 8 am on Friday, Chang’e-l had orbited the moon 189 times and was working properly at a stable altitude of 200 kilometers, its final working orbit.

The satellite adjusted its position to point its probing equipment towards the moon on Monday. Since it entered the moon’s orbit on November 7 it has gone through a number of tests.

Monday’s maneuvers also positioned the probe’s solar panel towards the sun for power generation and the directional antenna(天线)towards the Earth for data transmission.

The 2350-kg satellite carries eight probing facilities, including a stereo camera and interferometer, an imager and gamma/ x-ray spectrometer(光谱仪), a laser altimeter(激光高度计), a microwave detector, a high-energy solar particle detector and a low-energy ion detector.

The satellite aims to fulfill four scientific objectives. They include a three-dimensional(立体的)survey of the moon surface, analysis on the abundance and distribution of elements on the lunar surface, an investigation of the characteristics of lunar regolith(土被)and the powdery soil layer on the surface, and an exploration the circumstance between the Earth and the moon.

Chang’e-l, named after a mythical Chinese goddess who, according to the legend, flew to the moon, blasted off a Long March 3A carrier rocket at 6:05 pm on October 24 from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the southwestern Sichuan Province.

The satellite traveled nearly two million kilometers in its 15-day flight to the moon before it reached its final working orbit.

Chang’e-l was designed to stay on its final working orbit for one year. Scientists estimated the smooth operations and precise maneuvers may have saved 200 kg of fuel and helped prolong the probe’s lifespan.

51. The best title for the article is ______.

A. Chang‘e-l to be launched successfully

B. China to publish the 1st picture of moon in 3 days

C. Chang’e-l has taken a lot of pictures of the moon

A. November, the twenty-third, 2007      B. November, the twentieth, 2007

C. November, the twenty-fifth, 2007      D. November, the twenty-second, 2007

A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction(拍卖) of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. Chinese lawyers have asked the French court to stop auction house Christie’s putting two bronze relics(文物)looted (掠夺)from China

looted Chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at

Instance in Paris, the plaintiff(起诉人), the Association for the

Protection of Chinese Art in Europe(APCAE),was ordered to

pay compensation(赔偿)to the defendant.

They were looted when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.

         The pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. They have been put up for auction by his partner, Pierre Berge. The two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.
