Chinese service module journeys to and from Moon
The competition heats up: The service module of China’s first lunar return capsule, launched and successfully returned to Earth in November, is returning to lunar orbit after journeying to L2 more than 35,000 miles from the Moon.
After testing its maneuvering ability at L2, engineers are now moving it back to lunar orbit for further tests.
