China's mission to the moon

China is preparing to launch its first ever lunar orbiter in 2007. The expedition, christened Chang’e-1 after the Chinese Moon goddess, will map the moon in 3D in an effort to identify future landing sites. The satellite will also study the Moon’s composition and radiation environment and may use radar to probe below its surface.
