Good luck to this mission! I look forward to seeing the lunar surface photos.
From the scientific aspect it is certainly good to have – beside NASA – a second source of such colour photos.
Hi, can you tell which frequencies will be active on S-Band and X-Band. I would like to listen too.
Thanks, Edgar
