The Moon has been largely explored in the way of Earth-based telescope and orbital spacecraft. In recent yesars, it was explored by two China’s unmanned rovers: Yutu onboard Chang’E-3 and Yutu-2 onboard Chang’E-4. In my talk I will firstly give brief introduction on China’s deep space exploration program. Then I will show some results derived from the rover spectrometer. They are in situ optics, space weathering, compositions, thermal emission, absolute reflectance, etc.
