Chang’e-2, China’s 2nd unmanned lunar probe was launched Friday atop a Long March 3C (CZ-3C) carrier rocket to orbit the moon. Lifting off from the No. 2 tower at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 5:59 a.m. CDT (6:59 p.m. local), Chang’e-2 was inserted into a trans-lunar orbit without first circling Earth, marking a first for China’s space program. Chang’e 2 will take about five days to arrive at the moon, where it will orbit 62 miles (100 km) above the surface for six months, collecting data and imagery to support a planned soft-landing by Chang’e 3.
