Get ready, space enthusiasts! China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe is all set for lift-off after a final rehearsal on Wednesday. 🌕🚀
Various teams from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in Hainan Province, the Beijing Aerospace Control Center, the Xi'an Satellite Control Center, and the Yuanwang space-tracking ship came together for this ultimate test run. Talk about teamwork! 🤝
The big day is scheduled for May 3, as announced by the China National Space Administration (CNSA). Mark your calendars! 📅
The rehearsal was all about making sure everything runs smoothly between the different squads during the launch of this groundbreaking probe. They nailed it! 🎯
Last Saturday, the massive Long March 5 rocket, carrying the 8.2-tonne Chang'e-6 probe, rolled out to its launch tower at the Wenchang Space Launch Center. Can you imagine the excitement? 😃
Before the rehearsal, the launch site crew busted out a series of tests, including technical checks and fueling. Safety first! 🛡️
With the weather shifting from dry to rainy in Wenchang, the team held a meteorological pow-wow to make sure Mother Nature plays nice on launch day. They're keeping a close eye on thunderstorms, heavy rain, and even the wind around crucial buildings. 🌦️🌪️
It's all systems go for China’s next giant leap to the Moon! Stay tuned for more cosmic updates. 🌌
