[quote=ICEBERG,251329]On Oct.22, the spokeman of CNSA (China National Space Administration) said:" China is planning to launch its first moon orbiter On Oct.24 at Xichang Satellite Launch Center. According to the news, the moon orbiter is called Chang'e 1. In legend, Chang'e flew to the moon. It is said that the first picture of the moon will be relayed back in late November. This marks the first step of China's three-stage moon landing plan. A moon landing and launch of a moon rover will be realized around 2012. In the third stage, another rover will be launched to the moon to collect lunar soil and stone and bring them back on earth around 2017.[/quote]
