Has a selenocentric orbit inclination been quoted anywhere, please?
There are lots of funny mis-translations like that in Google, especially for Chinese and Japanese (I remember Hayabusa's name was always translated by Google as "It is quick the").There is a word, “落月” that keeps showing up in Google translations as "sangrakwol", which is meaningless. Can anyone say what this actually means in the context of Chang'e? It is found in the second paragraph of this article: http://tech.sina.com.cn/d/2013-12-02/02398965861.shtml
By the way, I have finished translating the introduction materials of all the 8 science instruments that I have posted 2 days ago - please read from here for the details.

LOI was completed at 09:47 UTC.
Are there any further news releases about their progress with their orbital descent phasing? I was looking for the approximate date of the expected landing but must have missed it (even in the original article...could have skimmed over that). Can this be updated?
Rover deployment.
Quote from: Blackstar on 12/07/2013 12:43 pmRover deployment.Rover seems to have a high center of gravity. Do the wheels spread apart?
That being said - those photos are just stills from an animation ...
Are there any good line drawings/schematics of the lander and rover?I've seen a lot of photos, but I'm curious about overall dimensions and instrument locations and things like that.
