Instead of a firework show, as well as a high-tech laser fountain show and just over a weekĀ after the Moon Cake munching Mid Autumn day, China has decided to launch itās second lunar orbiter.
Changāe 2 as the probe is named is already sitting at the Xichang Satellite launch center waiting for itās 1st October launch aboard a Chinese LM-3B Rocket.
The probes main responsibility while orbiting the moon is to take high resolution photos so scientist can prepare for the landing of the next probe (Changāe 3) on the lunar surface.
