According to moondaily.com China plans a (unmanned) moonlanding for 2013.
The article contains an image of a sample-return probe taking off from the moon which indeed looks a lot like a (Soviet) Y8E derived vehicle. If this is true, my earlier remark here that this landingsite might be selected for its option to fly a direct ascent trajectory back to earth seems to make sense, they might indeed be planning to attempt a sample-return mission with a moonlanding in the vicinity of the present crash-site. Regards, Geert. |

I wish I could add some solid information about upcoming events, but in its absence here's an historical oddity. Buzz Aldrin, Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit on the day he landed on the Moon: A tad OT, but in reference to the above. In the early 80's, a member of my local (Australia) Astro club, purchased and shared the video... 'The Greatest Film Ever Made' which detailed the flight of Apollo 11. Can't find it on the usual sites. Any ideas? |
