Chang'e 1, China's first lunar orbiter, was launched on October 24, 2007, marking a milestone in the nation's burgeoning space program. The spacecraft was named after the legendary Chinese moon goddess Chang'e, symbolizing the cultural connection between Chinese mythology and scientific exploration. The launch took place at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province and represented not only a technological achievement but also a declaration of China's growing capabilities in space technology. Following its launch, the satellite took nearly two weeks to reach lunar orbit. On November 5, after a series of finely-tuned maneuvers, Chang'e 1 successfully entered lunar orbit at approximately 8:00 am UTC.The primary mission objectives of Chang'e 1 included conducting high-resolution photographic surveys of the lunar surface, compiling a three-dimensional map of the Moon, and analyzing its mineral composition. The satellite was equipped with several scientific instruments, including a terrain camera, an infrared spectrometer, and a gamma-ray spectrometer. These tools allowed Chang'e 1 to gather unprecedented data about the Moon's topography and surface materials, contributing significantly to lunar science. The data collected by the orbiter were valuable not just for Chinese researchers but also for the global scientific community, fostering international collaboration in lunar studies.
