Both, the lander and the rover, have just ended their work for the 19th lunar day, and switched to stand-by mode for the lunar night. The lander switched to dormant mode on 28 June at 1:00 BJT and the rover on 27 June at 16:23 BJT. By the end of the 19th lunar day, Yutu 2 had accumulated 463.26 m of traversing on the far side of the Moon.
On the CLEP WeChat account it was reported that operations of the Lunar Lander Neutrons and Dosimetry - LND and measurements with the Low Frequency Spectrometer - LFS were carried out during the 19th lunar day. Yutu 2 explored the lunar material in a small surface deepening, found Southwest of the rover during the 17th lunar day, using its Visible and Near-Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (VNIS). After that, the rover turned in Northwest direction, investigation the characteristics of its trails and finding a place for staying during the upcoming lunar night. As usual, by the end of the lunar day, the science data were transferred from mission control to the science team.
China plans to launch its first Mars probe and the Chang'e-5 probe to bring lunar samples back to Earth later this year.

One week after launch, Beidou-3GEO has entered its GEO position at 110.5oEast, Xi'an Satellite Control Centre announced on 30 June. The centre initiated round-the-clock monitoring after the launch, with multiple ground stations across the country tracking the satellite and making orbit-related calculations. The satellite's payloads have been turned on and they are working normally in orbit. Next week, the Xi'an ground station will carry out tests on the satellite's platform and its inter-satellite link system. After being tested comprehensively, the satellite will get connected with the BDS-3 system and provide services.

On 3 July at 11:10 BJT, China successfully sent a high-resolution multi-mode imaging satellite into the planned orbit from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre in North China's Shanxi province. The satellite was launched by a Long March 4B rocket. The satellite is a civilian optical remote sensing satellite with sub-meter resolution, which can switch multiple imaging modes. It will become part of the national civil space infrastructure project. On board was also the "Xibaipo" satellite, dedicated to educational purposes.
