BEIJING - President Hu Jintao congratulated China's military and scientists at a ceremony Wednesday to celebrate the successful launch of a moon probe. ADVERTISEMENT

Hu devoted much of a live nationwide television broadcast to praising the country's socialist system, along with its military and scientific community, for ensuring the success of the Chang'e 1 lunar satellite.

China launched the probe in late October with plans to have it survey the entire surface of the moon over the next year. It began sending photos back to Earth several weeks ago.

"Our deep-space exploration is for peaceful purposes," Hu told an audience of Communist Party officials, schoolchildren and military officers gathered at Beijing's Great Hall of the People.
