Of course, a mechanical or electronic failure is likely to end the mission long before the RTG wears out (same as on Curiosity)

Really! That's unexpected, and very interesting. What are the objectives of these maneuvers, Yeh? I'm guessing navigation practice and additional systems testing.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

According to the report, it is for "verification of navigation/control technique of the Chang'e 5 mission".

Re Paolo -- interesting, I am seeing discussion on 9ifly.cn (a forum comparable to unmannedspaceflight.com in China) that also speculating that Chang'e 5 or 6 may be targeting the far side of the Moon. There are some calculations that seems to conclude that it is possible to achieve this with CZ5 launch system. Link (in Chinese): http://bbs.9ifly.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthre...ge=19#pid331129
