I thought it was time to split the subject from the Moon forum.
Admins, can you move the relevant messages here? anyway, just out: an interesting blog article by Bill Gray explaining how he recovered the probe and how he computed the orbit yielding the 13 December flyby date Chang'e 2: The Full Story |

there was a long article on the development of CE-2 on a Chinese site recently
http://zh.cnr.cn/2100zhfw/zhhz/201211/t201...511342196.shtml and http://zh.cnr.cn/2100zhfw/zhhz/201211/t201...1342196_1.shtml at a certain point it is stated (my adaptation of a google translation): QUOTE According to the latest news, Chang E 2 successfully completed further extend the test a second halfway correction, the whole control process satellite subsystems work properly, in good condition. Until October 9, Chang'e II satellite in orbit flight 736 days, has 2.61 million kilometers from Earth. Follow-up will be used to track and test our new two deep space monitoring stations and to carry out the technical test.
