"All systems are “go” for tonight’s launch of China’s next step in a carefully
planned lunar exploration program. Placed on top of a powerful Long March 5
rocket, the Chang'e 6 mission is due to lift off from the Wenchang Space Launch
Site on southern Hainan Island at 7:30pm AEST.
It aims to deliver several “firsts” in the increasingly crowded and competitive
arena of Moon exploration.
Chang'e 6 will be only the second mission to land on the lunar far side, after
Chang'e 4 successfully touched down first in 2019.
It’s the latest mission in China’s successful and long-running lunar
exploration program, aimed at proving new technological advances with each
mission. And this time, it’s also an inspiring feat of international
collaboration."
Cheers,
