The latest issue<\/a> of the Space Calendar<\/a> from\u00a0Space Age Publishing<\/a>\u00a0is now available:\u00a0May 26 \u2013 June 1, 2014 \/ Vol 33, No 21 \/ Hawai`i Island, USA<\/a>\u00a0–<\/p>\n

The first item is about the status of the Chinese lander and rover on the Moon:<\/p>\n

\"China-Lunar-Exploration-Program[1]\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The only nation active on the surface of the Moon, China, maintains successful operations of its Chang\u2019e-3 Lander and Yutu Rover now in Lunar Night 6. Although Yutu has incurred mechanical issues, it continues to respond to ground control teams well past its 3-month given lifetime. Chang\u2019e-3 Lander with Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope and Extreme Ultraviolet Camera, is also expected to perform past its December 14, one-year \/ thirteen-Lunar Day lifetime. <\/em><\/p>\n

The spacecraft hibernate \/ awake cycle is determined by astronomical factors (estimated\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0by SPC \/ ILOA), mechanical functions and performance, and ground control teams at the Very Long Baseline Interferometry center in Shanghai and observation stations in Xinjiang, Kunming and Beijing. Chang\u2019e-4 (the twin of Chang\u2019e-3) is being reconfigured due to the mission success; it may launch with different instruments to a new location or be combined with a future mission. <\/em><\/p>\n

Preparing for Phase 3, the Chang\u2019e-5 sample return mission test satellite is scheduled to launch this June to attempt a Lunar Orbit Transfer and return to Earth. (Image Credit: ILOA, SPC, CNSA, Chinese Academy of Sciences, D. Davis)<\/em><\/p>\n
