Flooding from a river shift caused by a similar quake today could threaten up to 170 million people — a number equal to about half the population of the United States — who live in an Illinois-sized area of India and Bangladesh, Chamberlain says.
Its landing and collection manoeuvres relied heavily on autonomous processes and robotic tools, although Chinese engineers could send messages to the spacecraft through the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, which launched in March this year and is still in orbit around the moon.
