Chang'e Lunar Missions

The missions of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program, named for the Moon goddess Chang'e, from the first lunar orbiter to the far-side landing of Chang'e 4 and the sample-return missions of Chang'e 5 and 6. A mission belongs here when its cited article names it as part of the Chang'e program. Members are placed here from their own cited Wikipedia articles, each with a verbatim supporting quotation, so a reader can check why an entry sits in this group. The grouping forms part of the browse path for this section of the atlas.
