@DutchSpace Can you ask your contacts at the Netherlands Space Office if they have more info on the Chinese Chang'e 4 communication orbiter due for launch in 1H 2018 (they have a Low Freq. Radio Astro. Experiment on board: http://www.ru.nl/ct/english/vm/news/research-news/astronomy/2016/dutch-radio-antenna-depart-moon-chinese-mission/ …)? (1/2)

The experiment (NCLE; PI
@hfalcke) is RX only from 1 to 80MHz. I'll ask my@ASTRON_NL colleagues if they have known TX freqs. Note that C5T1 transmits at S-band (see@coastal8049), and@uhf_satcom has tracked Chang'e 3 at X-band.
Thanks, although I'm slightly more interested in the current planned launch date/site and what other instruments are on board. ;)
