Queqiao-2 will also serve the Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 missions to the lunar south pole.
Queqiao was launched in May 2018 and serves a communications relay role that enabled the Chang’e-4 lander and rover to operate on the far side of the moon.
A 2018 International Astronautical Congress paper proposed sending Queqiao to the Earth–Moon L4 or L5 points after its primary mission to perform survey tasks.
A relay satellite will support the Chang’e-7 mission and the relay could be an uprated version of the Queqiao relay satellite used for Chang’e-4.
NCLE was launched on the Chinese satellite QueQiao, which is located about 450,000 kilometers away from Earth.
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) controls a lander and rover on the far side of the Moon with the QueQiao satellite.
Longjiang-2 (DSLWP-B) is a 47-kilogram microsatellite launched in May 2018 alongside the Queqiao relay satellite for the Chang’e-4 lunar far side mission.
A Long March 4C launched the Queqiao relay satellite in 2018-05-01, which was a necessary precursor to the Chang’e-4 lunar far side landing on 2019-01-02.
Queqiao launched in May 2018 to the Earth-Moon Lagrange Point 2.
The Chang’e-4 mission component Longjiang-2 is a 45-kilogram microsatellite that launched with Queqiao and operates in an elliptical lunar orbit.
Queqiao provides line-of-sight communications between Chang’e-4 and Chinese ground stations at Kashi and Jiamusi as well as ground stations in Namibia and Argentina.
Queqiao is a relay satellite launched in May 2018 and inserted into a halo orbit around the Earth–Moon L2 point in June 2018 to facilitate communications with Chang’e-4.
The Queqiao relay satellite, equipped with a 4.2-meter parabolic antenna, was launched from Xichang on 2018-05-20 and entered a Lissajous orbit beyond the moon around the Earth–moon Lagrange point 2 on 2018-06-14.
The relay satellite Queqiao was functioning in position and allowed China to proceed with the planned December 2018 launch of Chang’e-4.
Queqiao is a relay satellite with a 4.2‑meter parabolic antenna launched 2018-05-20, from Xichang.
The Queqiao relay satellite was launched to the Earth–Moon L2 Lagrange point in May 2018 to facilitate communications for the Chang’e-4 mission.
Two 47-kilogram microsatellites developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology were launched alongside Queqiao and were intended for lunar orbit.
Queqiao will use a 4.2-meter parabolic antenna to relay telecommands from the ground to the Chang’e-4 spacecraft and to transmit data and telemetry back to Earth via S-band while using X-band to communicate with the lander and rover.
Queqiao will use X-band to communicate with the Chang’e-4 lander and rover on the lunar far side.
China planned to launch the Queqiao communications relay satellite to support the Chang’e-4 lunar far side mission in late 2018.
