DSLWP Amateur Radio Team
A Chinese team from the Harbin Institute of Technology took photos of the moon and earth with a camera linked to an amateur radio transceiver on board of the Chinese DSLWP-B/Longjiang-2 satellite. The DSLWP amateur radio payload flew in orbit around the moon from 21 May 2018 to 31 July 2019. See our blog posts:

Update July 9, 2020
The results of this Chinese lunar satellite have now been published in Nature Communications. Tammo Jan Dijkema and Cees Bassa were involved in this publication. They are included in the publication as affiliated with “C.A. Muller Radio Astronomy Station “and” ASTRON “. See https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17272-8 (‘open access’). A short text about the beautiful moon photos was published before in Science, but this is a full publication. Of course the Dwingeloo Radio Telescope is mentioned in the article.
The hopefully complete list of contributors to this mission, together with all (open) data, has also been officially published and is available on https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3571330 referred to in the Nature Communications article. The full list also includes quite a few CAMRAS volunteers.
