"We will carry out three missions at the Moon's polar regions to research the geological structure and mineral composition of its south pole and we will take samples back from the Moon during one of these missions. By building scientific research stations on the Moon, we want to provide a platform for larger scale and more rich lunar probe activities in the future."

China will launch its Chang'e-4 lunar probe in 2018, according to a senior official with the China National Space Administration (CNSA) in Shanghai on Thursday.
Pei Zhaoyu, deputy director of the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center with CNSA, made the following remarks at the 7th IAA-CSA Conference on Advanced Space Technology.
"The plan is for the Chang'e-4 lunar probe to land on the far side of the Moon and we intend to launch it in 2018," said Pei.
There is one side of the Moon that is always facing away from the Earth, known as the far side of the Moon. The Chang'e-4 lunar probe will land on this side, completely losing contact with the Earth. Therefore, the launch mission will try to use a Earth-Moon relay satellite for the first time.
Pei said China will implement three missions in the polar regions of the Moon and set up scientific research stations there to offer a platform for future lunar probes.
"We will carry out three missions at the Moon's polar regions to research the geological structure and mineral composition of its south pole and we will take samples back from the Moon during one of these missions.
