My thanks to Phil for the information on the planned landing site. I have added to the KML file a ground overlay for the location, using a crop of an LROC high resolution image (getting very close to the post max size). Full credit included in the file. I encourage users to expand the file on the GE viewer panel and find all the features within it. Chang__e_6_Landing_Site_2024MAY28.kmz ( 2.92MB ) Number of downloads: 18 Fernando |

Andrew Jones reports that the landing is now set for approximately 8:00 p.m. Eastern Saturday, June 1 (00.00 UTC June 2), according to the European Space Agency (ESA), which is involved via a payload developed in Sweden. The mission is targeting a landing in the southern portion of Apollo crater within the vast South Pole-Aitken basin. The sun began to rise over the crater on May 28.
