OPERATIONS of China's second lunar orbiter Chang'e-2 remained normal today after its launch 180 days ago, according to State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
The solar-powered probe was launched on October 1 last year to deepen China's knowledge of the moon and collect information for moon-landing by the country's future orbiters.
Chang'e-2, named after a legendary Chinese moon goddess, entered its long-term lunar orbit on November 3, 2010 and has captured a great amount of scientific data.
The orbiter has so far achieved all the pre-set goals, the administration said, adding that it will carry out further research operations.
