On April 8, Tiandu-1 completed the flight orbit adjustment control as planned, and flew in formation with Tiandu-2 in a frozen orbit around the moon, with the distance between the two stars maintained at around 200 kilometers. The communication between the two satellites is normal, the posture is stable, and the energy is balanced, laying an important foundation for carrying out a series of communication technology test tasks.

Queqiao Telecom Comprehensive Constellation System
Since one side of the moon always faces away from the earth, a probe landing on the back of the moon is blocked by the moon itself and cannot directly achieve measurement and control communication and data transmission with the earth. The landing detection and sampling sites for the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project are mainly located in the south pole and far side of the moon. Therefore, relay stars with wider functions and stronger performance are needed to set up a new "relay communication station" from the moon to the earth. , to solve the communication and data transmission problems between the probe on the back of the moon and the earth.
On the eighth China Space Day in 2023, the two Queqiao communication technology test satellites were officially named "Tiandu-1" and "Tiandu-2". The "Tiandu-1" satellite weighs 61 kilograms and is equipped with Ka dual-band integrated communication devices, laser corner reflectors, space routers and other loads.
