Of course, a mechanical or electronic failure is likely to end the mission long before the RTG wears out (same as on Curiosity)

Spaceflight Now's International Launch Schedule bills it as "Chang'e 5 Precursor."
"A Chinese Long March 3C rocket will launch a mission to demonstrate re-entry technologies for the planned Chang'e 5 lunar sample return mission." |

A very detailed report about Chang'e-5 Test Vehicle at Spaceflight101.
They call it "Chang'e 5-T1", but I wonder if the "T1" is really official. With respect to Chang'e-4, I found at nasaspaceflight.com the following post (« Reply #38 on: 10/16/2014 11:53 PM ») from User "Blackstar": QUOTE So I conversed a bit with a reporter about this issue. He says that he has a source who has provided some information on the CE-4 mission (lander/rover) and will be writing an article about that soon. So maybe we will learn something new soon. I hope so too. Maybe (my speculation) they are redesigning the lander now, taking into account the lessons learned from Chang'e-3. When finished, then they'll let us know... Thorsten |
