Also on the Chinese forum I usually visit someone tried to calculate the closest launch window in December 2018 using the same launch and LOI profile as CE-3 and found the optimum launch time as ~18:30 UTC on December 7.From the same source, apparently lunar night would end over Von Karman crater on December 30 so maybe we will see it land around the New Year?Looks like the currently planned landing date is January 3, 2019.

Exact (local) launch time: 07:40:04:462
Launch preparations are on full swing at Xichang for Chang'e-4, but are there other news regarding other missions from Jiuquan or Taiyuan?
Looks like China will launch CZ-2D rockets from Jiuquan, Taiyuan and Xichang, next year!
