China is attempting to salvage two spacecraft initially intended for the moon after a rocket stage malfunction left them stranded in a highly elliptical, high Earth orbit. The DRO-A and B spacecraft, designed for a distant retrograde orbit around the moon, have been tracked in an orbit-raising burn, indicating an attempt to save the mission. The spacecraft's intended lunar orbit entry and communication with a satellite in low Earth orbit may still be possible, but the impact of the unplanned use of propellant remains unknown. This salvage attempt contrasts with the openness of previous lunar mission issues and is part of China's broader lunar exploration and communication infrastructure plans.
