Anyone aware of any plans to live stream any of the Chang'e landing process from its mission control center (similar to the launch)

The best annotated diagram of the lander and rover I have seen so far... The two features labeled as "fuel tanks" are actually "high-pressure gas cylinders" for pressurization of the pressure-fed propulsion system. |

Any idea how low Earth will be in the sky to the cameras? Sinus Iridium is even farther from the sub-Earth point than Apollo 17 was, and I know it was lower in the sky from Taurus-Littrow than any of the other landing sites.
Also depends on how high the cameras can be pointed too! |

Thanks, Astro0! (Stayed up all night since Ms. Nprev wanted a night on the town. Turns out that she can't drink NEARLY as much as me, so she's beddy-bye. Me, I GOT to see this happen!)

from the map they showed on CCTV it looks like CE3 is heading to the eastern edge of the landing site, and into Mare Imbrium, close to crater Le Verrier instead of Sinus Iridum

Descent apparently proceeding well thus far. (Odd that there are also something like '7 minutes of terror' to do a lunar landing, just like a Mars landing...)
