The nation's first moon orbiter is scheduled to blast off at around 6 pm tomorrow from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Southwest China's Sichuan Province.
"It will be launched between October 24 and 26 and our first choice is around 6 pm on October 24," Li Guoping, spokesman for the China National Space Administration, said Monday.

The launch window is about 35 minutes; and similar slots are available on Thursday and Friday, he said.

The circumlunar satellite, named Chang'e I after the legendary Chinese fairy who flew to the moon, and the Long March 3A carrier rocket have passed all pre-launch tests and have been transported to the launch site.

The lunar orbiter is expected to enter the Earth-moon transfer orbit on October 31; and the moon's orbit, 380,000 km from Earth, on November 5.

The satellite will relay the first pictures of the moon in late November and will continue scientific exploration
