Planned flights to the Moon and Mars

28.1.2013 came out on Technet.cz article: See what happens all this year to the cosmos. A great start overview. The article contains a very extensive overview informing about the flights of civilian and especially military satellites into space. In general, their function and meaningfulness could be debated. The whole list ends with a section To the Moon and Mars, which is worth paying attention.

It states:

On 12. August is… the start… with NASA's LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Experiment) probe, which will become the Moon's 130 km satellite, and will primarily study the sparse monthly atmosphere (global density, composition and time variability) and dust particles in the vicinity of the Moon… The first three months will be dedicated to basic research, the final nine months to technical issues (including tests of optical communication by laser signal).

Looking into wikipedia, we learn:

The moon has a relatively insignificant and sparse atmosphere. Atoms in such a sparse atmosphere do not nearly coincide with each other (their mean free path is comparable to the size of the Moon). One source of this atmosphere is degassing - the release of gases, such as radon, which is deep inside of the moon. Another important source of gas is the solar wind, which is quickly captured by monthly gravity.

In other words, it is generally thought that the Moon has no atmosphere. So, I'm surprised that relatively insignificant and sparse atmosphere devotes all scientific research to a probe designed for this purpose. That it would again be an inconspicuous media preparation for a paradigm shift?

We will also learn in the article:

On 18. On November 25th, the launch of the Cape Canaveral… with a spacecraft… weighing 903 kg to be 22. In September, 2014 was launched into orbit around Mars at an altitude of 150 - 6 200 km, from which it is supposed to study the atmosphere of Mars for at least a year and clarify the impact of the loss of the original atmosphere on the planet's climate change.
At the same time, the first Indian spacecraft, Mangalyaan (a Hindu ship to Mars), is also heading for Mars… Around 21. September 2014 will be transferred to the orbit around Mars from which research is to be launched. The probe will carry five instruments with a total weight of about 15 kg.

Even in the case of probes for Mars, the primary focus is on the atmosphere. Is it just a coincidence? I do not want to believe that much.

And the final of the year is China:

Long March 3B to launch Chang'e spacecraft launch from Xichang Satellite Launch Center (Xichang) in the last quarter of the year there a small "lunochod" weighing 3 kg. It will be China's first moon landing. Overall, the project resembles Luna 1 launched 200 years ago.

I'm wondering if Chinese lunohod will finally show us pictures of the Moon's surface in combination with the starry sky. If they do not, then let them publish anything, they will be great good processed photos in the graphics editor.
