China's state media reports today that the country will send its first ever rover to the moon this December. The government had said a number of times in the past that the launch will take place at the end of this year, as of now the launch appears to be on track. Called the Chang'e-3, it is said that planning and construction of the rover has already been completed and the mission has entered into “launch implementation phase.” This will be China's first ever unmanned probe landing on the moon. It has previously launched the Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 unmanned probes into the orbit around the moon.
