[quote=TRAVELLERMIKE,254058]BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- China's first lunar probe, Chang'e-1, completed its nearly two-million-km flying journey to the moon successfully on Wednesday morning and entered its working orbit, 200 km above the moon, where it will stay orbiting every 127 minutes for the next year. In the coming days, the probe will further adjust its orbit and start testing its instruments, which include: stereo camera and interferometer, imager and gamma/x-ray spectrometer, laser altimeter, microwave detector, high energy solar particle detector, and low energy ion detector.[/quote]
