Chinese Chang'e-6 Lunar Probe to Return to Earth Today, Yangwang U8 Involved

TapTechNews June 25th news, the Chang'e-6 lunar probe is expected to return to Earth this afternoon and land at the landing site in Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia. Currently, the aerospace personnel are making the final preparations.

Hu Xiaoqing, the general manager of Yangwang Automobile Sales Division, released a video today stating that the Yangwang U8 lunar landing support fleet is rushing to the expected landing point in Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia.

A netizen disclosed in the comment area that there are a total of 8 of these Yangwang U8 lunar landing support fleets, which have been delivered to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The Yangwang U8 is a luxury SUV equipped with the 'Easy Square' four-motor technology + in-place steering, and is equipped with a 49-kilowatt-hour battery and a range extender engine, and the CLTC comprehensive endurance reaches 1000 kilometers (about 621 miles).

At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the BYD Yangwang U8 off-road player version was officially launched, with a listing price starting from 1.098 million yuan. This car has been upgraded for off-road performance, and a thermal management system more suitable for off-road conditions has been adopted. There is an independent detachable luggage rack on the roof, which can effectively expand the utilization space and increase the loading capacity.

Thanks to the Yunzhan-P's maximum 150mm (about 5.9 inches) height adjustment stroke, the maximum wading depth of the U8 luxury version reaches 1000mm (about 3.3 feet), and that of the off-road player version reaches 1400mm (about 4.6 feet). Because Yunzhan-P has the functions of stiffness level 3 adjustment and continuous adaptive damping adjustment, the vehicle can adjust the suspension's shock absorption and support according to the driving state. When accelerating hard, decelerating hard, cornering at high speed, and changing lanes on urban or highway sections, Yunzhan-P can adjust a certain suspension directionally to reduce the vehicle's roll and lower the vehicle's pitching and nodding phenomena.
