Chang'e 3, 4 and 5 (lunar surface elements)

[Sirius_Alpha]

In an attempt to learn how to make models for Celestia, I have created the Lunar surface elements of the Chang'e 3, 4 and 5 missions. Since I barely know what I'm doing with this, I make no claim to be presenting a high-quality add-on here, and the models should be viewed as more notional than accurate -- especially for Chang'e 5 where there is not a lot of decent imagery of the spacecraft to use to make the model.

That being said, you're free to do whatever you wish with this.

Chang'e 3 and it's Yutu rover.

Chang'e 4 and it's low-frequency radio spectrometer on the far side of the moon.

Chang'e 5's descent stage, having successfully performed its task.

With Chang'e 6 landed on the Moon just a few hours ago as of this writing, here's an SSC update to the original add-on above placing its descent stage onto Apollo Basin, with exact coordinates pinpointed by Sirius_Alpha on Discord. Also added COSPAR IDs to all missions so that it matches up the format established in the larger Spacecrafts for Celestia thread
