IF the Chang'e-2 sends back high-resolution photos of the Bay of Rainbows, the mission can be deemed a complete success, the chief designer of China's lunar exploration program said yesterday.
Wu Weiren said Chang'e-2 would take high-resolution photos of the proposed landing ground for Chang'e-3.
Wu said four to five areas had been chosen for a landing ground, but the Bay of Rainbows would be the first choice.
"Other places on the moon have already been landed on, so we want to choose one that has not been explored before.
"Previously, most lunar programs landed around the equator of the moon, an area easier for monitoring and control maneuvers, but Chang'e-3 will take on greater challenges."
