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.

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Jun 2 2024, 02:19 AM)  Your blue and yellow may be reversed. Phil S I think you're right. So you still place it just south of Chaffee? No precession from the "early" landing? |

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Jun 2 2024, 11:00 AM) The broadcast ended with a great landing video. Let's hope it is released soon. Fantastic job, everyone involved.

First impression, a bit north of the target.

Coordinates are approximately -41.63839 206.01455, or 153.98545 W, 41.63839 S.
Edit: SegerYu beat me to it. Similar result. https://x.com/SegerYu/status/1797110109493166299

I'm seeing reports on Weibo and from some Chinese spaceflight accounts on Twitter that the drilling has concluded successfully.
This would be in contrast to the Chang'e 5 drilling which was blocked due to a rock. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Excellent work finding the site. It looks like we will have to wait about 6 days for an LRO overflight.
