The Chang’e-3, named after a Chinese goddess, is China’s first spacecraft to make a soft landing on the moon. It contains a lander and a moon rover(月球车) called Yutu. The Chang’e-3 spacecraft is the second phase(阶段) China’s lunar programme, which includes orbiting, landing and returning to Earth. It follows the success of the Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 spacecraft in 2007 and 2010. The launch of Chang’e-3 was successful.
The Chang’e-3 is one of the most difficult tasks in China’s space programme, the news says. The news adds that exploring the universe(宇宙) and seeking peaceful use of space are dreams of Chinese for thousands of years.
With a lander and the moon rover Yutu, Chang’e-3 soft-landed(软着陆) on the moon at 9:11 p.m. Saturday. Yutu later separated(分离) from the lander and ran to the moon surface earlier Sunday.
China has chosen the name Yutu for its first moon rover, after a worldwide online poll(投票) attracted people to come up with names.
In Chinese folk tale, Yutu is the white pet rabbit of Chang’e, the moon goddess. Chang’e took her pet and flew toward the moon. She became a goddess and has lived there with the white animal ever since.

Recently，a solar powered（太阳能动力的）plane took to the sky for the first time. It had passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.
The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland（瑞士）at 45km an hour. It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky.
“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly — never an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight, the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside.
Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
The plane flies at 70 km an hour. That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. Piccard and pilot Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time.
“We want to fly it day and night with no fuel (燃料),” Piccard saidHow long did the first flight of the solar powered plane last？
