Storyline


China plans to probe the far side of the Moon starting from the end of 2018, according to the country's space scientists.

The far-side lunar probe will use Chang'e-4 for a soft landing and start researches, said Bao Weimin, director of the technology department under the China Aerospace Science and Technology.

As the Moon's rotation period is equal to its revolution period, which is called as synchronous rotation by scientists, there is always one side of the Moon facing away from the Earth, known as the far side.

Therefore, contacts cannot be made from the Earth to Chang'e-4. To ensure the smooth communication, scientists will first launch another satellite to relay the information sent by Chang'e-4 to the Earth.

"We will launch a relay satellite in mid-May to the Lagrange L2 Point, the balanced point between the Earth and the Moon. This is the world's first relay satellite at the Lagrange L2 Point. When we have the communication capacity, we will launch the Chang'e-4 by the end of this year," said Bao.

The Chang'e-4 lunar probe is the backup of the Chang'e-3 lunar probe, which landed on the Moon in 2013. After improving its adaptability, Chang'e-4 is expected to get a lot of information from the far side.

"Our exploration into the far side of the Moon can provide us with some data that cannot be obtained from the near side. The exploration can shield radiation from the Earth and discover the deep space, reflecting the real Universe," said Bao.

China's lunar exploration program is designed to be conducted in three phases. The first phase is to orbit the Moon, which was completed by Chang'e-1 in 2009. The second phase is to land on the Moon, which was done by Chang'e-3 in 2013. The third phase is to collect samples and return to the Earth, which will be completed by Chang'e-4, Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-6.
