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.

The French DORN (Detection of Outgassing RadoN) experiment got a ticket for a flight to the Moon on Chang'e-6.

Since long time we have Chang'e 6, 7 and 8 with focus on solar south pole, now we get Nasa with the south pole water rich findings.
This will be interesting. https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar...oon_future.html https://www.space.com/water-on-moon-shadow-...traps-discovery -------------------- "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena"

Heard at LPSC: CE7 will fly before CE6. CE7 is an ambitious mission with lander, rover and a hopping component which can fly over a shaded area. CE6 is a second sample return mission.

Phil Phil, I'm not finding that talk at the LPSC site. Do you recall which section it was in. For those not registered, here's a link to the abstract: Chang'E 7 plans -------------------- |

It was reported verbally in the plenary session on March 17th:
The Scientific Achievements by Chang’E-4 and the New Lunar Samples Returned by Chang’E-5 Lin Y. This statement was towards the end of the talk. I have to say the talk was not particularly useful if you have been following these missions, no CE5 results reported, just a summary of what to expect. Lin did say in response to a question that the CE5 results would be reported soon, probably waiting for a paper to be accepted.

Here is an abstract about an instrument to be carried on CE6.
https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPS...SC2022-992.html For me the most important thing is a statement about a landing site: "Chang’E-6 is expected to launch in 2024 and will soft-land on the lunar far-side at approximately 41°S and 180°E." That's the first specific statement I have seen. It may change but it's a start. Many other reports say it will go to the South Pole but in the press the pole is often confused with the 'South Pole-Aitken basin' so it's not always easy to know what is intended. That location is not far from Chang'e 4, inside Leibnitz crater but on the ejecta of Finsen crater (which also provided most of what Yutu 2 has seen so far). Samples would include material from Finsen, Leibnitz and SPA. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Chang-E-6 would sample a different area of the SPA. -------------------- |

A nice article about the replacement for the current relay satellite, in preparation for Chang'E 6. Looks like a NRHOorbit instead of the Lagrange point this time.
https://spacenews.com/china-to-launch-relay...nding-missions/ Not sure exactly how the 1st one will be disposed off though. |

Landing site has apparently been moved to S43º ±2º, W154º ±4º. Launch scheduled for May 2024 for a 53 days mission.

The French DORN (Detection of Outgassing RadoN) instrument is going to be delivered to the Chinese Space Agency (CNSA) in July 2023.
