Description
On 25 June, the Chang’e-6 (CE-6) return capsule successfully landed in the predetermined area of Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia, marking the complete success of the CE-6 mission and achieving the world’s first lunar farside sample-return milestone. The landing area is in the south of Apollo basin inside the South Pole Aitken basin. The statistical analysis of impact craters in this region is crucial for ensuring a safe landing and supporting geological research. This dataset is craters with diameters larger than 30 m in the 246 km × 135 km landing area. The craters are extracted by an automated method and checked manually.
