CE-6 now being touted for 2020 and a south polar target. The rim of Shackleton crater is suggested, probably just for a mission simulation rather than serious site planning at this stage. I had been hearing about two polar landers in the 2023-2025 period (roughly) in addition to and following CE-6, which I had assumed was going to the same general region as CE-4. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I hope this is the right thread...
The paper titled "Landing site of the Chang'e-6 lunar farside sample return mission from the Apollo basin" includes enough information and images to allow creating a KML file for Google Moon (in Google Earth). Full credit to the authors is included in the KML file and is displayed by clicking the underlined "Chang'e 6 Landing Site" title. The included base image has better resolution than the underlying Google imagery. Unfortunately it proved impossible (to me) to perfectly match the image to the Google imagery. Nevertheless, I think it is worth it and hope it may be of some use, now that the landing is approaching. Just as with the the Curiosity KML file, download the file below to your favorite place and double click it. This should invoke Google Earth, and a message prompting to allow to change to the Moon should appear. All comments are welcome, especially if you run into any problems!
