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 |

wow! China releases the first pics and I happen to be sleeping?!? btw it's good to be proven wrong about the number of them!
Kudos to the Chinese! EDIT: gotta love this! in the west we tend to compare asteroids to potatoes. someone on the 9ifly forum is comparing it... to a ginger root! |
