China to launch Chang'e-2 satellite at the end of 2010 - People's Daily Online
13:07, December 28, 2009

China planned to launch the Chang'e-2, the country's second lunar probe, at the end of 2010, the State Administration of Science Technology and Industry for National Defense said Monday.

The Chang'e-2 was to test key soft landing technologies for theChang'e-3 and provide high-resolution photo images of the landing area, the administration said.

China has made progress on six key technologies of Chang'e-2, including the lunar capture, orbit control and the research on high-resolution stereo camera, it said.

Ye Peijian, chief designer of Chang'e-1, the country's first moon probe, said earlier that China's three-stage moon mission could be defined as "orbiting", "landing" and "returning".

Chang'e-2 and Chang'e-3 are part of the second phase of the country's lunar exploration program.

The Chang'e-1 lunar probe was launched in October 2007 as the first step of China's three-stage moon mission.

"Chang'e" is named after a legendary Chinese moon goddess.

Good. When do you think China does a manned moon mission ?. They must have started it long time ago. How is the progress.

BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese astronautics professor said Tuesday the country is capable of sending astronauts to moon around 2020.

"The key technology problem is the 'returning'", said Xu Shijie, a professor from the Beijing University of Aeronautics, explaining that the country's three-stage moon mission could be defined as "orbiting", "landing" and "returning".

The third stage will last from 2017 to 2020, during which China will launch recoverable moon rovers.

Many countries, including China, target to sending astronauts to the moon, said Xu, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), who is in Beijing attending the annual sessions of the political advisory body.

China's moon mission timetable was revealed as the country concluded the first phase of its three-stage moon mission with a controlled impact of Chang'e-1 on the moon on March 1.

China plans to land Chang'e-3 on the moon at latest in 2013, Ye Peijian, chief designer of Chang'e-1, the country's first moon probe, said on Monday.

The mission of Chang'e-3 is to make soft landing and probe the moon, said Ye, a CPPCC national committee member.

Before the mission, Chang'e-2 will be launched at the latest in2011 to test key technologies of soft landing and lower technical risks, he said.

Chang'e-4 will also be launched during the second phase, which will be concluded before 2017.

China's space program claimed a new landmark with its first space walk last year. :china::cheers::china:

Jealous?? of that video? :no:

Yes, actually I am glad there are some more people like you in India,

fail to accept the truth when someone is ahead of you, fail to remind

yourself to do catch-up with hard work.

Of cause the easier way out is to bury your head into the sand.

Good luck pal. :smitten::pakistan::china:

What technology prevents from doing that. Is there any difference in sending to moon and returning from moon.

Brah you assumed that I was trying to belittle China's prowess, which is not true at all. I just indicated the cart goes a little ahead of the horse, sometimes. :P
