China Launching Chang’e 2 Lunar Probe


With the national holiday fast approaching China is planning a number of spectacular ways to celebrate the week long vacation, but this has to be the most awesome of all.
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 itā€™s second lunar orbiter.
Changā€™e 2 as the probe is named is already sitting at the Xichang Satellite launch center waiting for itā€™s 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 (Changā€™e 3) on the lunar surface.
