Chang'e Program
2 reportsChang'e Program is a space program that coordinates missions, technology development, budgets, schedules, and partnerships around defined goals. Technical records and released data are judged through program architecture, science objectives, and program budget, including failures, uncertainty, and operating constraints.
Coverage places landing or orbital operations; surface science; and navigation and communications within the wider context of Chang'e Program. Conclusions concerning landing or orbital operations remain tied to released scientific results, approved mission documents, and transparent methods; proposed schedules and capabilities may change during development.
