The position of the Chang'e 5 probe during its second trajectory correction maneuver which took place today 25th November 2020 at 14:06 UTC.

We see that it has already reached more than half of the journey, but it gradually slows down as it approaches the Moon.

Accomplished
• 1st trajectory correction maneuver ✔
• 2nd trajectory correction maneuver ✔
Coming next:
• 3rd trajectory correction maneuver
• 1st lunar approach
• 2nd lunar approach
• etc




Meanwhile, radio amateurs have decoded the Chang'e-5 orbital module's camera video!

Thus independently confirming China's Lunar Mission is very real unlike the U.S. ones, and not just another Apollhoax!

THIS. IS. JUST. AWESOME. !!!

This is video decoded from the 8455MHz high rate downlink @uhf_satcom received yesterday. All the work on the decoder and data analysis really paid off in the end!

Video shows solar panel of Chang'e-5 glistening in the sun and dust floating around.

China's Chang'e-5 probe enters lunar orbit

2020-11-28 22:49:31

BEIJING, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- China's Chang'e-5 probe decelerated and entered the lunar orbit on Saturday, completing a vital step on its way to collect and return moon samples, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced.

After flying about 112 hours from Earth, an engine on the probe ignited when it was 400 km away from the surface of the moon at 8:58 p.m. and shut down after about 17 minutes, the CNSA said.

The probe performed the braking without incident and entered the lunar orbit successfully, according to the real-time monitoring data.

Chang'e-5, comprising an orbiter, a lander, an ascender, and a returner, has carried out two orbital corrections during the Earth-Moon transfer, achieving its expected goals.

Afterward, it will adjust the altitude and inclination of its orbit around the moon. When the time is appropriate, the lander-ascender combination will separate from the orbiter-returner combination, implement a soft landing on the near side of the moon, and carry out automatic sampling as planned.

China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe conducts 2nd braking, prepares to land

21:04, 29-Nov-2020 Updated 22:53, 29-Nov-2020
By Cao Qingqing

China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe successfully completed its second braking at 8:23 p.m. Sunday (BJT), entering a circular lunar orbit 200 kilometers above the moon and getting ready for the landing operation, according to the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of China National Space Administration (CNSA).

This follows its first braking one day earlier, which took place at a position about 400 kilometers above the moon and enabled it to be captured by the moon's gravitational field and fly in an elliptical lunar orbit.

The second braking brings it closer to the moon. Over the next week, the probe, composed of four parts – the orbiter, lander, ascender and Earth re-entry module – will perform multiple complicated tasks on a tight schedule.

The four parts will separate into two pairs. The lander and ascender will head to the moon and collect samples, while the orbiter and Earth re-entry module will continue to fly around the moon and adjust to a designated orbit, getting ready for the docking with the ascender.

The landing operation is expected in three days. Once touched down on the lunar surface, the lander will collect two kilograms of lunar sample.

It will shovel some surface material, drill a two-meter-deep hole and extract the soil from inside it, which will act as an archive of the moon, with the bottom recording information from a billion years ago, and the top more closely reflecting the present day.

Once the samples are secured, the ascender will take off from the lunar surface to transfer the moon samples to the re-entry capsule waiting in lunar orbit, which will then carry them back to earth.

The sampling work and the take-off of the ascender from the lunar surface need to be completed within 48 hours, according to Liu Jiangang, chief of the command team in Beijing.

And here the explanation (for the higher IQs only, not for the parrots of mainstream media):

QUIET WITH A CHANCE OF FLARES : Big sunspot AR2786 is directly facing Earth. NOAA forecasters say there is a 15% chance of M-class solar flares on Nov. 29th. Any such eruption would be Earth-directed and would interrupt days of mostly quiet space weather.

Remember, previously the North Korean Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite launch on 13 April 2012 only failed following a TREACHEROUS MAGNETIC STORM: A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field on April 12th, sparking a geomagnetic storm (Kp=5) that peaked during the early hours of Friday the 13th.

Once the samples are secured, the ascender will take off from the lunar surface to transfer the moon samples to the re-entry capsule waiting in lunar orbit, which will then carry them back to earth.​

​

The sampling work and the take-off of the ascender from the lunar surface need to be completed within 48 hours, according to Liu Jiangang, chief of the command team in Beijing.​

And here the explanation (for the higher IQs only, not for the parrots of mainstream media):

QUIET WITH A CHANCE OF FLARES : Big sunspot AR2786 is directly facing Earth. NOAA forecasters say there is a 15% chance of M-class solar flares on Nov. 29th. Any such eruption would be Earth-directed and would interrupt days of mostly quiet space weather.

Remember, previously the North Korean Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite launch on 13 April 2012 only failed following a TREACHEROUS MAGNETIC STORM: A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field on April 12th, sparking a geomagnetic storm (Kp=5) that peaked during the early hours of Friday the 13th.

Thus the 3 days delay, before China attempts to perform the landing!

Are you an idiot? That is why i said it is based on a rehearsal simulation. I didn't say it was confirmed date and time. I didn't put estimation for nothing, you need to learn proper English my friend

Lander separation success, final burn Dec 3rd UTC 04:23 landing will be around 04:33

Congrats !
The Lunar Lander is successfully separated with Lunar Orbiter in the lower lunar orbit. #ChangE5 is going to land around noon Dec 1st, UTC. Good luck

CCTV did mention it was the 1st of Dec but another expert who is tracking the progress believes it will be the 3rd with all the data he has gathered up to now with his antennas. He will continue to monitor the data so lets wait and see.

Better trust this chart circulated on Chinese social media, than the self-styled western expert, and that have already been proved inaccurate with their failed estimated landing time of 20:40 UTC 29 NOV, 04:40 30 NOV Beijing time!

▲ 1. Chart circulated on Chinese social media.

• Start of the descent toward the lunar surface: 1st December 14:58 UTC (22:58 Beijing Time)

• LANDING ON LUNAR SURFACE: 1st December 15:13 UTC (23:13 Beijing Time)

• Drilling of lunar sub-surface samples: 1st December 17:15~19:45 UTC (01:15-03:45 2nd December Beijing Time)

• Scooping of lunar surface samples: 1st December 21:14 UTC ~ 2nd December 19:35 UTC (06:14 2nd December - 03:35 3rd December Beijing Time)

• LAUNCH OF LANDER ASCENT STAGE: 3rd December 15:10 UTC (23:10 Beijing Time)

• Ascent stage's solar panel deployment: 3rd December 15:27 UTC (23:27 Beijing Time)

• Ascent stage 4 long range guidances: 4th December 06:05, 16:04, 5th December 03:46, 19:54 Beijing Time

• Start of ascent stage closing range for rendezvous with orbiter: 5th December 18:14 UTC (02:14 Beijing Time)

• Rendezvous: 5th December 21:40 UTC (6th December 05:40 Beijing Time)

• Completion of sample storage system transfer into the Reentry Vehicle: 5th December 22:01 UTC (06:01 6th December Beijing Time)

• Orbiter/Return Capsule separation from ascent stage: 6th December 04:35 UTC (12:35 Beijing Time)

If all goes well, then in a world's first since 1975, two East Asian superpowers will complete the baton passing from the dying two European superpowers, that is the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. that both returned lunar rocks nearly half a century ago, with today both Japan's Hayabusa-2 asteroid sample-return mission expected to land on earth by 6th December 2020, followed a few days later by China's Chang'e 5 lunar Sampling Return.

The powerful 7500 Newton motor of the lander should have come into operation ... unless the landing was postponed.
