CHINA'S second moon orbiter, the Chang'e-2, is now about 20 million kilometers from Earth, setting a new milestone in the country's deep space exploration efforts, Chinese scientists said yesterday.
The probe was 10 million kilometers from Earth on January 5.
The probe is continuing to send back signals despite being over its designed life span, they said, without giving details.
Chang'e-2 was launched on October 1, 2010 from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest Sichuan Province.
China's third lunar probe, the Chang'e-3, will launch later this year to land on the moon with a lunar rover.
